My deepest sympathy to family in loss of Kenneth. Went to school with Kenneth, in Jr. and High School.

Due to my relocation to California in 1959, I hadn't seen Ken for many decades. However I remember him very well from our years at Lincoln High. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the Koenig family and his close friends. Rest well, Ken.
