I had the honor of working with Ken at Sikorsky Aircraft many year ago. He often worked in the freezer building I ran.

I was amazed that his dedication to developing a composite control panel for the Black Hawk helicopter, allowed him to work for hours at 20 below zero.

I must say that he was one of the most brilliant engineers I have ever met at Sikorsky.

My Condolences go out to his family and friends.
