I was deeply saddened to hear of Ken's passing. He and I were co-workers at Hughes Aircraft and car pooled for many years. I lived just around the corner from Ken and anytime he saw me working on my old car he never failed to stop and offer advice and assistance. To Matty and the rest of the family, please accept my deepest sympathy. He will be missed by more of us than you probably realize.

Ken was a kind and consistent friend. He will be greatly missed at our weekly Hughes retiree lunches at Jerry Bobs.
