Leila-I knew Ken for 40 years. We met annually for lunch for many years, and I always looked forward to the event. I ran into him several years ago (surprisingly) in Doctor Zallik's office, and had a nice conversation. I always reminded him of lunch long ago on a very snowy day. I sat down in the booth, and Ken stood for at least 30 seconds arranging his hair and getting all of the snow out of it. I finally pointed to my bald head and said "Ken, you sure know how to hurt a guy". Every year since, we had a good laugh about it. Laila, my sincere condolences to you and the family. I shall always warmly think of Ken and you.
