Dear Jo,



I feel so fortunate to have known Ken. Yesterday's service was a wonderdul tribute and inspiration to me.



As you know I primarily knew Ken on a professional basis and what a joy it was to work with him. Even on the most difficult matters aand issues, he was so intelligent, glacially cool and, yes, smooth. I think these traits, among his so may fine gifts, are the ones I think of the most as I continue to reflect on his life.



I will continue to remember you and Ken in my prayers and especially I will say a prayer for you, to guide you and protect you as you go along your way. Ken's love, God's love and my love will be part of the overwhelming love so many of us feel for you.

You are among the very special people I have had the privilege of knowing and now with Ken's passing I am reminded that the road we are traveling on can be difficult at best but always a joy. God Bless you always, Michael

Dear Jo: I am so sad to learn of Ken's passing away. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time. It was my blessing to have known Ken; he was always one to greet you with a smile and a joy to work with as I was selling your Fisher Island home, even though he had very serious matters on his mind at the time.

I am so sorry that I will be unable to attend the services tomorrow. Again, know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Audrey

Dear Jo: With great regret I read of your husband Ken's passing and want to share my deep condolences for your loss. I am truly saddened and hope that his impressive accomplishments, the time you two were given together and the passage of time will help to ease the pain of your loss and the void you must surely feel in your life. I know you, so I have the comfort of believing that you gave Ken a dimension to his life that was most rewarding to him. I will say a prayer for both of you.
