Ken sought out fine dining experiences and delighted in expanding his fine wine and liquor collection. Playing soccer, rugby and Judo earlier in his life, Ken continued to stay fit through regular exercise routines. He was truly fascinated with the world as he traveled to all corners of the globe, making lasting friends wherever he went. His sense of humor and desire to socialize made him the life of every party. Ken passed away on November 1, 2024 and will be fondly remembered by his family and huge circle of friends.
