    To Jo and all of Ken's family, I am so sad to hear of the passing of my old friend. Though we had not seen each other for years, each having gotten busy with raising families and running businesses, Ken always held a special place in my heart. We had been friends since our teens, went through college together, and I ushered at his wedding. Those strong bonds are never lost, no matter how much time passes between visits. His quick smile and laughter will always be missed.

    So sorry for your loss. I remember meeting you and Ken back in 1994. Loved hearing him talking about his family. I will always remember the many chances he gave our son Fritz. Our thoughts are with you. Haze Ackermann
