We met Ken on numerous occasions while visiting our daughter in
Pittsburgh. He was ever welcoming to us. We grieve for all
who knew him closely and especially for the close-knit group of friends
of which he
was a treasured member.

Ken was a colleague and friend. He enjoyed life and captured as
much ofit as he could — scuba diving, sky diving, ice hockey, classical
piano
lessons, dressage, and piloting small planes. I will miss him.

We will all miss Ken — a truly unique person whose range and depth of
interests was matched only by his curiosity and sense of humor. I feel
privileged to have called him friend.
