Ken was a great guy and a true gentleman. He was also a great leader at the Burlington Fire Dept. He was my first "boss" at the BFD when I started there as a kid almost 30 years ago. Now that I am a supervisor at the BFD like Ken was, I try to use some of the same "people skills" I learned from him. R.I.P. Ken and my sympathy to the Mills family especially Mary.
