Ken was a very special man. We shared many personal stories about our families and about people we knew in common in Stamford. We first met Ken through our cousin, Bob Kweskin, who was Ken's friend for many years. Ken would drive my wife and me to the airport, and we came to regard Ken first as a reliable and caring man, and later on even much more than that. He was an honorable, kind, and wonderful father and a special friend. We send our most sincere condolences to the Fahan family. Ed and Helen Kweskin
