I've haven't seen Ken in over 30 yrs. but he was one of those special few elite friends we are lucky enough to have in life. We traveled the U.S. as hippys together and we were college roommates in Silver City and housemates in Las Cruces. we had many wonderful experiences together that i will always cherish. My condolences to his family He was a kind gentle talented man.

Ken has been my friend since 1963. We had some fun times in our high-school days... Fond memories of picnics at his grandmother's house....Ken's green '50s Pontiac, his blue MG Midget. After high school we lived in different places but we always kept in touch. I watched him learn and grow as a painter. Shared his joys and troubles over the years. I was so happy that he met Ruthann. Ken's paintings fill my house--horses, my daughter Alice riding, and the wonderful portrait he painted of my son Michael and me. I will miss my old friend...
