I served in the National Guard with Ken. He was one of the finest men ive ever known and i thought of him as my brother. I named my son Kenneth after my buddy, Ken. One great guy ill never forget. My deepest sympathy to his wife and family.

I recall Ken quite well as a fellow Delta employee. His easy going, non-confrontational and agreeable nature made him a calm center in the middle of a storm. Good guy; he'll be missed.
