Ken was one of my favorite friends! We met each other in Sawgrass, and he visited Chattanooga very often. He knew where the key to my house was, and set up all his golf attire in my extra bedroom where he knew was his space. Then he visited me and my husband in St Louis where he spent time at Scott Air Force Base in the military, and knew all the Italian places and restaurants. We visited them all the time when he come here, and even walked in the kitchens to see his buddies-the owners.
He could always do everything quicker - such a zest for life! We were friends for more than 20 yrs, and he had a plane ticket to come for his birthday in may! I/we will miss him forever! I have great pictures and memories in my heart for Ken! xoxo (very sad)

It seems like I've known Ken forever. He was in an early Army procurement class at FIT and we've stayed in touch over the years. I will never forget his love for life and the fun he found in every day. He had a great smile, too. He moved from Georgia to IRCC after I showed him around there and it suited him perfectly. There, he found old friends, and made new friends. He played golf, and enjoyed plenty of social events including dances. He was so very proud of his lovely home and invited me over to enjoy his cooking - his ham and potato casserole. A good friend, he visited me and looked after me when I broke my wrist. Ken will be missed by all who knew him. My sympathy to the family and many others he loved so much.
