I was very Sad to hear about Ken's passing today. His old boss and friend Larry called me. I have know Ken for many years through the Primate center.
My favorite story was when I first helped out Pharmaserv making a delivery of shavings to the center. Ken thought he was going to get me by having me deliver to the second floor of BLDG 2 by hand. (There is no Second floor), I managed to get him back by not getting upset and just asking him to show me the way!
My biggest regret was losing contact after they closed the primate center down

The Patriots were always a springboard for conversation with Ken. Working with him for many years, he was always the guy that never failed to utter the rarely heard words "Let me know if you need a hand." My sincere condolences to all his family and friends.
