I live a couple of minutes from Ken's home so I regularly cross the intersection of Green Bay Road and Edgewood. Every time causes me to feel sad about the loss of my dear friend and colleague. Holidays too are a time of remembering. I hope the family's fond memories ease the pain of recalling the loss

David, Joel, I am so sorry for your loss. Just yesterday I was by dad's house. Hadn't
heard from him of a while and wanted to talk to him about Cubs games this season. I always take him to a game or two. I didn't know he was ill. The world is a much dimmer place today.
