    My neighbor and childhood buddy. Ken was always the mastermind behind our successful rocket launches as kids. What memories. No one ever doubted what career path Ken would take.
    The world of science and physics have suffered a great loss.
    Sincere condolences to Ken’s family.

    I had the pleasure of knowing Ken in my younger years and hold many fond memories of our stimulating conversations. He followed his own compass with passion and integrity that embraced a boundless curiosity for the world and universe we live in. Memories of his good humour and respect for others will always endure. I know he will be missed.
    Sincere condolences to Lynne and family

    Sincere condolences to Cassandra, Lynne, Travis and family. I have kept very fond memories of Ken since my 3-month stay in your family. With all my sympathy.

  • Peter Enders says:

    Sad!
    Why bad guys live long, while good ones – short??
    Being a founding member of sci.physics.foundations, I remember Ken as being enthusiastic in physics and taking friendly criticism seriously.
    Rest in peace and love of us all!
    Peter
