My sincere condolences to the Pickett Family. I remember seeing Ken in 1986 wearing his Marine uniform every day on the 4th floor of the CECOM Office Building in his important role managing all communication and electronics systems & equipments critical for the Marine Corps mission. In 2012, I again met and worked directly with Ken on several critical Radar systems used by our military service members in Iraq & Afghanistan to protect and save lives. Ken and I became close colleagues and friends. As dedicated and determined I saw Ken to supporting the military, I also saw and knew how dedicated he was to his family. We had some Great conversations about his Family especially when his grandson Ken III was lighting up the scoreboard at UPITT. I had and will always have respect and great memories of Ken. RIP my friend! Ed Leary

Ken was very dedicated in making sure his radars were 100 percent ready all the time at any cost. A true friend and coworker, I will miss talking with him.

Condolences to the family. Ken was the backbone of the logistics support of our Firefinder Radars for twenty years and was much appreciated by the radar user community. Always a pleasure to work with. As a Marine, Firefinder Radar Logistician, and family man, Ken was a very special individual and missed by many. Proud to have been his friend.

I just heard today about Ken's passing, we worked together at the PM and Ken was always approachable and willing to listen and mentor and coach. He was a true professional. My prayers and deepest sympathy to his family on their loss. The Lord promises to comfort you in Isahiah 66:13. It was an honor to know and work with Ken.

I worked with Ken at Eagle Technology starting in 1987. He was a great guy with a wonderful sense of humor. It was my first job as a government contractor and Ken was a wonderful mentor. I am sad to learn of his passing and send prayers to Sharon and the whole family.

I first met Ken at Fort Monmouth, NJ after my return from Desert Shield/Storm. We became immediate friends. Upon my retirement from Government Service, Ken hired me to oversee the startup of the RESET Program for FIREFINDER Radar Trailer Systems. I continued to work for Ken in various positions until his retirement. I can't tell you how sad I was to hear of his passing. Ken was a true professional, and always made sure the War Fighter received the attention they needed for their Radar Systems. Of all the supervisors that I have worked for over the years, he is right at the top. I will continue to pray for him and his family. He will be missed by myself, and all that had the privilege to know him. Rest in Peace my Dear Friend.

Ken was my boss at PdM Radars. He was a great mentor, friend and pretty fun guy. He loved his family. I just found out on 10 October 22 of his passing. I told a friend that he was a family man and his grandson was the starting QB for Steelers. RIP MSG Pickett

Ken always had a kind word for his customers. His job, to serve our soldiers, was never ending. There are no words to explain his generosity and gregariousness. He was a kind man, a generous man, and he will be missed amongst his peers. May god bless his soul and find him a place in Fiddler’s Green to rest.
