I’m truly sorry to learn of Ken’s passing. It was a pleasure to get to know Ken as we worked through the founding of Goward House. He greeted you with a warm smile, but made sure you left with an assignment that contributed to the solution. It has always been good to see him and Audrey at community events held there as the years went by, and I extend my sympathies to her and the family.
