I'm sure you know Ken was a special favorite of mine and held a big place in my heart. He always had a smile on his face and was kind and generous. He somehow even always made time for his silly little cousin asking him thousands of questions about his travels and anything else I could think of. And he handled it with his typical quiet dignity. Those fond memories of Thanksgiving dinners and holiday gatherings will always be treasured. I am so glad I had the chance to see him one last time last year at Oaklawn. He was his usual sweet self and ever the gentleman. I will miss him dearly.
Rest in peace, faithful servant.
