It was wonderful to see Ken and Irene over the Labor Day weekend. Ken was a wonderful guy - it was great to see him playing cards and Apples-To-Apples right up to the end. Our favorite memory was celebrating Chris & Ken's birthday at the Greek Restaurant in New Haven! It was a great time for our two families.
All of the Galo's are sending along their light and love to: Irene, Cara, Chris, Felicia, Seth and the girls. Hugs, Vicky & Zeke

Ken was such a wonderful guy, a great friend not only of me but of my late husband Jim. They were one well matched simpatico pair. I was blessed to know Ken as the other half of a lovely couple, completed by Irene, who was my terrific colleague and became a best friend. When I reviewed Ken at his 70th birthday, I gave him four out of four stars. A well deserved rating!
