Ken was definitely taken far to soon. I had the great pleasure of having dinner with Ken three times during the annual trade shows. For me, dinner with Ken was always a fun filled event. One time we were joined by his wonderful lady Marcy. Like everyone else, I too miss Ken. His warmth, intelligence and keen sense of humor always made it a joy to be in his presence, whether in person, via telephone calls or text. But above all else, I miss his compassion for others. My youngest daughter a cancer survivor had went through some very difficult times in her early years and any time Ken and I would talk, the very first words out of his mouth was; hey Pal how's Sara doing. There were many times during these dark days that when I was at my lowest, I would get a text out of nowhere from Ken, saying hang in there Pal.
I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Phenomenal 2016!
