Hello Jane, I was so sorry to hear of Ken's death. You were wonderful friends in a brief period of Doug's and my life. I will be forever grateful for the time he took to review Courtney's film, when he was hit by a car. Kenny helped us to understand the injury and guided us in what to do. He was always willing to help. I think I also remember that he used to ride a motorcycle to work and had a liking for Devil Dogs. I'm thrilled to see that Jonathan has picked up the mantle. And I can't believe that Kari is now a young woman. Just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you all.

His handsome face and energetic spirit will forever be in our hearts. He will be greatly missed by family and friends. Thank you for all your kind words.

I practiced with Ken for over twenty years. In a few words, he was a dynamo. Full of energy and constantly driven to lofty goals. During a free moment in the reading room we would gab, about the latest gossip or review a case together. A poster of Clint Eastwood was always present in the office. Clint and I will miss him.

My deepest condolences.

I worked for him for one year. He was very nice to me. He fulfilled his part as an employer. He was accommodating to what I needed.

He was hard working. He overcame many difficulties to build a thriving and growing radiology group.

I've known Dr Schwartz and family for close to 19 yrs. I've learned more from Jon and his dad than I will in a lifetime. May Dr Schwartz rest in peace and may his family continue in his footsteps.

I was very saddened to learn of Ken's passing. I knew Ken from Gardiner's Bay Golf Club, he was a great competitor & always a gentleman. The last time I saw him he was on the first tee about to tee off with his granddaughter. I went up to say hello & shake his hand. He was as gracious as always, but I noticed that his health was declining. Please accept my condolences & god bless Ken.

Please accept my condolence on the passing of Dr Schwartz. I knew him only for the short time that he was associated with Brookdale Hospital--we had many discussions together and I appreciated how he listened to our problems and tried to addres them. May you be comforted with the memories of his professional achievements.
