    Ken was a brilliant man, energetic and charismatic. However, my fondest recollections of him are filled with his laughter, his intense love of his family, the things he cooked up with Carol, and the oh-so-many things he could dream up, then execute. My condolences and deepest regards to Carol, the boys and their families. And, God please Bless this wine maker in Heaven.
