I met Ken in about 1981, as I was his replacement ST Tech. aboard the Peterson. Ken took me out for my first liberty in Italy and I really appreciated that. He would be responsible for my conduct as that was the rule back then. After I left the Navy in 1984 and settled in Norfolk I bumped into him again through my work. He invited me to his home to just kick back. I always thought Ken was unique. He also had some big snakes living with him. I also remember him talking later to my girlfriend (my wife now) about grams. My wife was a OT in the Navy. I think they were both claiming they were better than th other.

I met Ken in 7th grade fishing was our bond. I was honored to take a trip with the family to Maine and fish. We share many secrets of our misadventures which will remain untold. There was a day when we had only one bike you were on the handle bars while I was peddling your foot got caught in the spokes and resulted in a trip to Ft. Monmouth Hospital. How about your pointed finger which you caught in Bob Nelsons outboard. Most of my best memoriesas a kid and young adult are with you. Today is july 7,2016 and my heart hurts finding out today that you have passed. Ken you have always been in my thoughts and will continue to be. Duane Partusch

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I have worked quite a bit with Ken throughout the last 3 years at NMAWC. The last time I saw him was in May when I was in Everett. I always loved to see him. We would talk about our family and our dogs (I have two Austrialian Shepards), we would debate the defintion of a warm day in Washington, books, etc. Ken was such s nice and pleasent guy to be around. I am going to miss him very much. Please email me if you need anything.

Condolence From Rob Myers

Ken, No words of mine could ever express or convey my deepest sympathy on the loss of my closest work/lunch friend. It has been very difficult since the day I learned of your passing and to see beyond my sorrow, I take comfort in looking back on all our time spent together and all of our many discussions on life, family, politics, guns, cars, and so much more. It has been very hard to understand why such good people are taken from us too soon, but I feel truly blessed that our paths crossed and the fact that you will always be a special part of my life. Vickie and Carlie, please never hesitate to call if you ever need anything and always remember I am thinking of you during your sadness and pain. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy on the passing of my true friend. Please know he always spoke with such love and caring of both of you. Loving memories, Rob Myers
