My uncle was always the life of the party and so much fun. He always thought of others and how he could assist. Miss him greatly. Joanne

to ken's family,
there are no words to express my sadness upon hearing about ken's passing. he was truly a joy to
know. two of my most special memories of ken are when he once
told me that he was high on life!
he also told me that it is always important to make a list each day
no matter what is on it and as the
day goes by to mark thru each thing that has been accomplished. i still
do it to this day. we go back about
40 years and i even knew his mother
in atlanta. how lucky we all are
to have had him in our lives.

All of us at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) greatly appreciated Ken's interest in our organization. Many of us came to know him personally, and we quickly realized what a wonderful person he was. I saw him frequently, and his intelligence, warmth and remarkable spirit impressed me each time. He was truly a one-of-a-kind. We are all the better because of him.
The entire CSIS community sends its deepest sympathies to Peggy and the rest of Ken's family. They are in our prayers.
