Ken was part of our group of friends back in the seventies and early eighties on Acken Rd in NJ. I lived two doors away on Acken rd and remember a summer day swimming at their backyard pool and enjoying a game of soft ball. we have many good childhood memories and Ken was part of those memories we will all cherish. Rest easy my friend. Condolences to the Dykstra family.
