Condolences, we will keep Ken and his family in our thoughts and prayers. Knowing Ken through the years at Olympus was a pleasure as Ken was dedicated, supportive, knowledgeable and professional. He was always willing to take extra work in support of positive outcomes and was a go to person for challenging tasks. I really believe he was an encyclopedia of knowledge on many subjects. Outside of work he was a loving and supportive husband. I recall on occasions that Ken would play guitar, work on cars and share stories about when he had made wine. He also would welcome my family to his home so we could fish in his pond when he lived in Ohio. I have fond memories of Ken that will be carried forward. Thoughts and prayers of support for his family and loved ones.
