Oh man,

We became Corvette Friends a few years back.

I will remember him every time I sit in my car. His attention to quality is 2nd to none.

That is so sad. I didn't know Ken very well, but he was always a presence at the Fest. I really don't know what to say except may God Bless him and his family!

God Speed Ken!

I'm in on a brick Mike!!

Absolutely Mike... Count me in.

Ken was a great guy, a true Corvette Enthusiast.

I will always remeber the 3 cars under the arches when he tore out the consoles to install the guage bezels, and the now infamous "Race back to the Hotels"

Rest in Peace my friend, you will be truely missed.

Mark

What a shock! I still can't believe it. Ken was a great guy and an asset to the Corvette community. He will be missed by everyone who ever met or knew him. Prayers sent to Sandy and the entire King family.
Mike, please count me in for the brick.

Jim
