Ken was probably my best friend at AT&T,we knew each other for some 30 years.
He was the first person I would seek in the mourning,to hear some words of wisdom,which he had many.
He left a lasting impression on everyone who he associated with.
Good bye Ken,and I am sure there will be plenty of food left for you,at your last stop.
