Ken was a very likable guy. Always enjoyed his visits to my office. More like a friend than patient. Rest in peace from a life well spent.

Ken was like a second Dad to me growing up. I probably spent more time at the Quandt house than my own. I will never forget all our chess games and the endless puzzles around their dining room table. Not to mention the times he kept Debbie and I from making some stupid mistakes in our youth. He was a truly great man and I will always keep him in my heart and miss him dearly. All my love to each and every Quandt family member, you are in my heart always too. Kathi Aldrich (Gough)

Ken and I go back about 35 years from working together at the IBM Credit Union to commuting to Danbury, CT. He was a true friend and I will miss him!! Only a couple of weeks ago we spoke and were planning on our next luncheon. May God Bless Ken's soul and look over his family at this time. My sincerest condolences to Joanne!!
