This is absurdly belated but I need to add to the entries here praising Ken. He was a thoroughly decent person, an "engineer's engineer" and that most unusual thing, a natural, humane manager. As an engineer, I reported to Ken for a few years in the 1990s but our professional relationship stretched back into the 1970s when we were both assigned to the Government Avionics Test Equipment department. Ken was always a model of personal and professional integrity and I think that aspect of his character deserves special recognition. I miss you, Ken.

Amanda, Michelle and Matt, Eva and I were shocked and sorry to hear of your dad's passing. We were visiting Renae in Scottsdale when she told us the bad news. Your dad was an awesome guy who I can say without hesitation I had the pleasure of working for as a contract engineer at Rockwell Collins years ago. His professionalism, easy going way and sense of humor always made work more like fun.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to you all.

Matt and family, I was so sorry to hear of your dad's sudden passing. He seemed to be recovering, but we just never really know. I am praying for peace and comfort that only God can give. May you all grow closer to Him and to each other during this time. Wish I had known your dad, but if he was anything like Matt, he was a really "cool" guy! Love and blessings. Marcia

When I opened the paper this morning my heart dropped and tears came quickly. Both your mom and dad meant a lot to me. Every four weeks for the past 25+ years I have seen your dad. He always kept me updated with what was going on in everyone's lives. Since your mom has been gone we would talk about her and what she would be thinking about certain things. Your dad felt comfortable telling me things and even when he was having health issues I would tell him certain things to ask the doctor and he would report back to me. When he called me two weeks ago I had no idea I wouldn't be seeing him again. He told me he hope to see me in January and unfortantly I was busy at the salon so I didn't get to ask him any details. I thought I would have time for that later.he loved all three of you very much and really wanted everyone to get along. We talked about grandkids and he said he would be ready when they came but wanted to make sure "the kids" we're ready to have them. We talked about the dogs all the time and then he would want to hear about my cats. I am so sorry that both your dad and mom are gone. I watched you kids grow up and have heard how you have turned out as adults. I will miss hearing about you but remember, your parents loved you very much and your dad talked about you all the time. I know do this is what he would want, please stay in contact with each other and remember things are just things but family is more important. Prayers for all of you.
