Rita, Elena and I were so sorry to hear about Ken’s passing. He was such a good neighbor for me for many years. When he was outside and our paths would cross we would always have a very nice chat. At times, when I needed help, he was always there. Our prayers are with you and we wish you well because it is difficult to face the death of a loved one.
We hope that we can be there for one another! Stuart and Elena Oring
Ken Jr and family.
I am sorry to hear of Senior’s passing. I certainly would have grown by knowing Ken senior and I feel that I have missed out in having the opportunity to know him.
I hope that above all, past your pain and feelings of loss, that you find solace in knowing you will be reunited with senior one day.

I’m very sorry to hear of Ken’s passing. I worked with him for 20+ years at the Naval Research Laboratory. He was such an enjoyable person to be around. My husband bought a 1963 Thunderbird car from him to restore. My prayers and love are with his family on your loss.
