I had the pleasure of taking care of Ken in his last 3 years of life. I really enjoyed learning about football and watching all the VT games. We celebrated many holidays together and I will always remember our time together.

I had the honor of working with Ken for over 15 years. He would sit near my desk every morning and read the Wall Street Journal. Hr became a dear friend of mine and it was an honor to have him as a boss. He is greatly missed. I send condolences to his family. Love, Jenny
