I have been having a difficult time dealing with the loss of Ken. I still can't come to grips with it. Ken was a very dear friend and, as others have said, a very positive force in the lives of others. I remember when I was in 6th grade and came home for lunch one day and told my mom we had a new kid in class. It was Ken and we have been close friends ever since. After I moved away, every time I came to Clinton to visit, I couldn't wait to visit him at the hospital and/or his house to catch up and discuss current events. Ken will be missed greatly by all who knew him. My dad, who was known for giving people nicknames, would call him "CARB" (a mix of the term carbon dioxide and Doxsee). Sort of a strange name but it became a term of endearment within our family. I extend my deepest sympathy to Ken's family and all who mourn his loss.
See ya on the other side, Ken!
