I lost my brother to cancer. He was a sensitive, adventurous and intense person. He lived life to the fullest and then some. His wife, Gay was the love of his life and his daughter Meg was the apple of his eye. They were with him as a family including their two puppies the last week of his life.

> Growing up Ken was puzzling to my parents. He never was a contented, "obey the rules" kind of kid. He was driven for knowledge and adventure. He lived his life in a big way and I admired and love him for being himself.
> I am so fortunate that he was my big brother.
