I can still hear Ken's voice full of passion, humor and enthusiasm for whatever he was doing at the time. I met him in 1994 when I went to work as the Health Care Leader for GE Capital and we kept in touch for 20 years, but lost track of him last fall. I knew he had cancer and I knew the odds were against him but I also knew he was such a fighter.. Please know that so many people loved him and will never forget him. My deepest condolences,

I worked with Ken quite a few years ago at Hewitt. I appreciated his knowledge, skill and humor, as well as his friendship. Sadly, we had lost touch in recent years. I am saddened to hear of his early passing. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family.
