This is just a note to express my heartfelt condolences to Paula and Ken's Many friends. He was a teriffic professional and a man I enjoyed working with on various teams at Baker. Looking back, he kind of reminds me of a vanilla Oreo - he could be crusty on the outside but the real Ken was mellow on the inside. I'm sure he will be missed by all. - John -

I have missed talking hockey with Ken - we used to kid each other about the Pens & Detroit Red Wings rivalries. He was a sweet man on the inside and I wish more people could have known that about him. At least he is not suffering any longer. God Bless Ken

I knew Ken for quite a while. We car-pooled occasionally during his early years with Baker. Ken was rather quiet, yet we shared a laugh on more than one occasion. Separated by departments in later years, our conversations were usually limited to an occasional "hey" in the hallway. You'll be missed, Ken.

I was saddened to hear of Ken's passing. Our parents were close and we spent a lot of time together growing up. Unfortunately as adults we went our own ways and have not been in contact since after his mother died. Our condolances to his family. Frank
