Can't think about Ken without seeing the smirk and the twinkle in his eye. Funny, smart, caring - he will be sorely missed by many of his CPA friends!!!

I can´t even remember how long Ken took care of my family. And that´s no exaggeration; as our accountant, Ken saw us through some difficult years after my parent´s respective illnesses left them in able to run their business and its responsibility transferred to me. Ken had long been my business accountant and suddenly we were rebuilding my parent´s real estate company as well. Thanks to Ken, the company flourished. We were so lucky to have the unflappable Ken Watter as accountant, but it was his kindness and reassuring manner that I will always cherish about this wonderful man. I will really miss him.
