    Sandy
    At the infrequent times we met at SCCS ’65 reunions or other events, you and Ken often had been working hard and traveling the world, enjoying life together. Hang onto those memories and let any one of our classmates know of anything we can do to support you in your time of grief. As odd as it sounds, I will look forward to that celebration of life to share a hug.
    Blessings, Marty Link

    I’m sorry for your loss. When Ken would stop by my work (Pagano/Larry Romance & Son) we would often trade travel stories. He was always a nice customer to have. My sympathy to your family.
