I worked with Ken at the VA, Fort Harrison. He was probably one of the nicest, down to earth people I have ever worked with. Interesting that I ran across this obituary living in Idaho a year or so after he passed. I hope that some family member reads this, as it speaks well of him and all of the people like him. My hope for the world at 81 years of age, I hope there are more people like him in our country’s future. May your rest in eternal peace Ken…you earned it! May God bless you; I’m sure he (she) has.
