Ken was my sophomore basketball coach at Regina High School. He was a good man and a good coach. He also very wisely did not play me often. He did allow me to travel. As a vertically-challenged individual, I appreciated that! LOL. I will always remember his opening comment at halftime: "If we get the first two baskets of the second half, we will win this thing!"

Ken was our "paper man" after he retired and was a more diligent deliverer than I ever had before or since. No matter how early I was up, the paper was there and on the way to work I would see him walking to church, always acknowledging those of us who honked good morning to him. Such a kind and positive person!
