I was very sorry to hear of Ken's passing. He was a good friend and a fellow classmate of the 1972 Warriors.

There are probably 15 to 20 people, including us, who would say Kenny was one of their best friends. Can't say that about many people. We had many good times made better by him and we were looking forward to many more. Someday we'll think only bout the good times and feel better.
