I'm sorry to hear about Ken passing. I worked with Ken at the Library for some years until he retired. He was such a great person, and full of wisdom. He always gave good advice, talks, and encouragement. Even after he retired, he kept in touch with us at the library to share what he was about to do next, and as the season has approach, he would send an email to talk about the Washington Commanders. He will truly be missed.

Sorry for your loss. I met Ken when I started working at the LOC in 2012 and he immediately took me under his wing and made me feel included, involved, and important. He was kind and gentle, and an intrepid wordsmith.

I am so sorry to hear this news. My condolences to his wife Karen and daughter Kelly. I have known Ken all my life. Have some pretty good memories... He was one of my God father's. Rip Ken
