I am shocked and saddened to hear of Ken's passing. I worked with him many years on the other end of the police radio and phone. Ken was truly one of the best dispatchers that I have ever worked with. Through our jobs we became friends and I loved his personality so very much. I moved to another department years ago but would still keep in touch with Ken through periodic phone calls and visits back to the 911 center building. I wish I could have known in time to come and pay my respects in person because I am so sorry that such a great person is gone. I will miss him a lot and will always remember my fond and enjoyable memories I shared with him over so many years. God Bless Ken and his family.

To such a kind and gentle person. Always willing to go out of his way to help. I enjoyed my many years in public service with Ken as the voice on the other end to comfort me in the time of stress. You will be sadly missed. Gone too soon.
