A great guy. A true friend.

I first met Ken when we were both newbie realtors at Arvida Realty and we became instant friends. He was the sweetest, kindest, and supportive friend and absolutely brilliant. Gosh, he was so smart, but it was his big heart that touched us. We'll never forget him coming to help us move our son into his new home when we had no other help...out of the clear blue...there was Ken, ready to help, and we couldn't be more grateful! He will always be in our hearts!

Kenny was my ex-brother-in-law.
What I remember most about Kenny was how down to earth he was. If you asked for help he would be there. No frills, no pretense. I don´t think Kenny knew how to be any other way.
The best example of that was Kenny being there for his mom Bunny during her long battle with cancer.
She was an avid traveler and Kenny stepped up to make sure she had a great last adventure in Alaska.

I can only hope Kenny is surrounded by all the things he loved in life.

We've known each other since we were yearlings, as our parents were friends even before we were born!
After college and after both of our divorces, my mother and his mother must have conspired to re-introduce us, but for the life of me I can't remember exactly those details. All I know is, we did get together in 1992 !
He loved being on a boat, any boat...and we spent alot of time together on ILO, my sailboat.
One of Kenny's favorite trips was from City Island to the Statue of Liberty one glorious September day in 1993. He also loved going to Mystic CT, and Hamburg Cove, CT which we did several times.

By the end of 1993, we had decided to move to Sanibel Island, and so we did, January 1994. It was FREEZING cold, and we drove our large Budget rental truck all the way down, towing my car. We couldn't find a motel the first night...so we slept in the truck in a hotel parking lot near Baltimore with my two cats and my heavy down comforter and pillows (which luckily I had thrown into my car as we were leaving).
The cats were so warm. LOL !!

The next night we had made it all the way down to Georgia someplace, and it was still COLD! But we got a beautiful motel room and got a great night's sleep and the next day we arrived on Sanibel. The rest of the story will be in my next book.

We were childhood friends and shared a love of boating and the water.

My condolences to all in his life.

I will miss Ken. When he called if I didn't have time for a long conversation I would have to call him back. There were no short hello how are you with Ken. He let you know everything that was going on with him at that time in his life. Ken liked me but he loved my wife. He was so concerned and sad when she fell I'll with cancer. He would call and the very first words would be asking about her. He was a genuine nice guy who was grumpy at times. I will miss meeting up at the German American club where he would give me tickets for beer or food. I'm still saddened at the loss of a friend.

Ken was a good man. He was a friend who genuinely cared about you. He would call just to check in and catch up. It didn´t matter how many miles were between us it was as if I´d never moved away.

He was such a big help to me with his wealth of knowledge of all things real estate. When I got licensed he was so happy for me. Shared his knowledge very generously!

I don´t have much of a green thumb but loved when he shared his beautiful orchids. He even gifted me a garden gnome for my garden no matter where I was. He was one who called me GG for my short stature & love of garden gnomes.

I loved his quick wit too. At times he was a curmudgeon but that just made him all the more lovable. He was real. No fake pretense. I will miss our chats my friend. I pray we will meet again in the life to come!

Kenny was My First and Best Roommate at Hofstra University. He always shared anything and everything with me and Our Friends. I´m really going to miss him and had been wondering why I haven´t heard from him in quite awhile! Unfortunately, this is not what I wanted to hear! I live in New York and didn´t have any of his contacts, so I wasn´t able to find any information on him until tonight

Ken set the bar that all real estate agents should strive for. He cared deeply about every client and it showed. It wasn´t just a job to him. It was a way to help people achieve their dreams. Not only did he assist myself and several friends with buying and selling several homes through the years but had great advice about taxes and financial matters. A genius with heart. Rare and beautiful. Will be missed!

I am so sad to read this. He was a genuine nice guy. I enjoyed our many conversations around real estate and the Bronx.
