I was privileged to with Ken for several years at George F. Young (and still work there along with his daughter Nicole). He worked hard, but loved to laugh. He and Pauline also volunteered often to help cook and serve at our church's events. Ken was always willing to do whatever needing doing, and he always had a twinkle in his eye. I will miss you Ken. Godspeed, old friend.

I met Ken when my best friend Chuck Greggs started dating his daughter Christina many years ago. We had many opportunities to get together during those early years, and I always appreciated Ken. Ken welcomed me and always made me feel comfortable, even though I was merrily the room mate of the guy her daughter was dating at the time. Ken was so easy to talk to, even though there was a generation between us. He was so respectful to a young kid that probably didn't deserve the respect he gave. I believe there is a real lesson in that, I certainly never forgot it as it has been 20 years since I have seen Ken. Yet, I still remember his kindness. Ken had remarkable character, few do. Certainly something I would like to live up to.
