Judy and family......how shocked I was to hear of Ken's passing. I enjoyed our long talks when I was working and remember how excited he got when he heard he could go up, one more time. Rest easily knowing he's where he can fly anytime he wishes and he'll be looking over all of you for now on.
Godspeed Ken.......
