A year later, and it is still hard to believe that vibrant, indefatigable Ken is not with us. But, Ken, you are not forgotten and are an integral part of many great memories!

Ken and I shared many great moments. We worked together for several years at GE, played softball and tennis together, went river rafting and camping together and he spear headed the greatest vacation I've ever been a part of- the two of us and my two daughters for a rafting trip on the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. He was always up for a challenge. He was a pleasure to know and be part of his life.

Ken was known to my siblings and me as Uncle Kenny. I was so sad to hear he passed after receiving some news that it appeared he was making small progress. My husband and I talked to him about going to the east to see sights and visit him and have him show us around D.C. Although we didn’t see each other every day or even every year, we could pick up where we left off and it was as though no time had passed since out last visit. Since he passed my Uncle Loran has shared some great stories about Ken. I am going to miss being able to see and talk to him again. He is missed and loved so much. My deepest sympathies and love to Dawna and his children. RIP Uncle Kenny.

I first met Ken during the process of Toppan acquiring the Chiyoda facility in Morgantown. As a result, I got to spend a good bit of time with him and we got to know each other very well. From a business perspective, in the 11+ years since, I found Ken to be a man of integrity who cared greatly for the future of the Morgantown facility and even stepped in several times during crisis at our facility in McDonough, GA to help our company be the best it could be. At the same time, personally, I found it amazing how active Ken was outside of work. I count myself very blessed to have worked with and been friends with a person of his character. I certainly miss him.

I met Ken through Christina, but he became my friend independent of that connection. Christina and I traveled with her parents and celebrated many holidays with them. We even lived in their home for over a year when we moved back from Hawaii. He probably pretended to like the Patriots and then the Bucs a little more than he did so that watching them together would be more fun. I miss him and think about him every day.

Over the last eleven years, I was on court with Ken, both as a partner and an opponent, more than I was with any other player. We played (including at numerous practices)on Herman Gluck's two Haverford USTA teams and as members of a non-USTA group. Competing with someone that much creates a special bond, an irreplaceable camaraderie.
I could not imagine not returning to Ken the USTA towel that he loaned me during our final Haverford match this season (2022) at Levittown. All of his fine tennis attributes were fully displayed that late August morning--his swift movement, his potent overhead, and his relentless spirit.
I always looked forward to playing doubles with Ken on the court. His energy and determination were infectious, and although I could never seem to fully match these, he helped make me a better player.
Tennis is not the same for me without Ken on court.

I was so sad when I heard the news of Ken's passing. Ken was a kind, caring, and giving neighbor. Whenever a tree was down, or branches were down, Ken was the first one out there clearing driveways and roads. He always said the trees spoke to him, he knew before anyone else when a tree was down in our neighborhood.
Ken will be missed. We will always remember his kindness. And our last gathering together this summer on our deck.

I am truly sorry for your family's loss. And it is, certainly, a loss! For the small amount of time I knew Ken, he was a great man: compassionate, wise, generous, goofy, fun... he was, and will continue to be an influence and aspiration for my life. I don't know if I'll ever be able to live up to him, however, will continue to strive to.
May 2023 be filled with happier times!
My thoughts are with Ken and your family.
