When I started work at Bankers Life in 1964, Ken was one of my supervisors, and he was always kind, wise and patient. And quiet, too, an example of that in a job that sometimes had us wanting to shout.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Ken and Willa being our next door neighbors when I was a very young child. That was on Everett Street. They were always friendly.

Ken was my first supervisor at Bankers Life Nebraska, 1964-1965, and one of the most decent and empathetic people I met during my many years in the insurance business.
