My heartfelt condolences to all of you. Although I knew "Ken" for only a brief moment in the grand scheme of things he became a great friend and someone I could lean on. I very recently told him that I would never hear another Kinks song for the rest of my life without thinking of him. He will be missed.

Kenny
I will always remember your great sense of humor, our camping trips, card games and most of all the Aruba trip. Many good memories that I will never forget.

Your Good Friend
