We will miss our friend Ken and deep condolences to his family for your loss. He was a kind and thoughtful person that will be very missed. His passion for history and jewelry was unparalleled. Liza and I counted on his advice over the years for all our jewelry needs and he always delivered stunning work. He was honest and always had so much knowledge to share ...a true educator at heart.
Rest In Peace Ken...we were so glad to have met you and Margaret.
Matt and Liza Ruple

It is with heavy hearts that my fiance Hilal and I hear the news of Ken's passing. Ken found us our engagement ring, and we loved every minute of the experience. A storyteller, historian, and gemologist Ken was a treasure. We miss him dearly.

I am very sorry to hear of Ken's passing. I had the good fortune to work with him for many years at Elizabethtown Gas. I always enjoyed his wry sense of humor and entertaining historical anecdotes. May he rest in peace.

Ken has been a wonderful neighbor for 28 years. I could rely on him to know what was going on in the neighborhood and he was always the first to get to know the new neighbors. We shared a mutual interest in genealogy and his knowledge of history was amazing. We have missed Margaret and now will miss having Ken just a short walk across the street. My sympathies to his family. He loved you and talked about all of you all the time.

So very sorry to hear about Ken's passing. His love of history and indomitable intelligence will be very missed at the Historical Society among so many other places in our community. We are so truly saddened to hear this news.

My deepest sympathy to Ken's children and grandchildren on the loss of such a distinguished man. Conversations with him always rose above the commonplace and showed sophistication and deep understanding of the world and the human condition. His knowledge of the world and local history never ceased to amaze me--and I have a Ph.D. in history. He shored his knowledge with school children and adults alike. We also enjoyed music and the concerts at St. Paul's. He is greatly missed. James Hewitt, Mountainside, NJ, August 12, 2021.

My condolences and prayers are with him and his family members. He was a great friend and wonderful mentor. He will be sorely missed, but he has left wonderful memories behind him that he unselfishly shared with all of us.
Cheers to Ken.
