Ken was a gentle man who mentored and inspired my engineering career beginning in 1973. I value that experience with many memories of positive collaboration.

I am one of those young people that benefitted from Ken's guidance and enthusiasm for science. I grew up at BUMC and talked with Ken nearly every Sunday during my high school and college years. When he heard that I was hoping to study chemical engineering at UTC his eyes lit up and he was always interested to hear how I was progressing and what my aspirations were. When my classes got tough, he wouldn't hear complaints. He agreed it was a hard subject that required hard work and encouraged me to keep at it. I'm a professor of Bioengineering now and am passing on the same wisdom I learned from Ken. Thank you Ken, you are missed.

Ken was my neighbor for eight years and I know him to be a strong Christian man. He gave continually to his community, especially to young people through his work with the Science Fair and the Engineer's Club. Indeed Ken mentored my son, who as a young high school student, talked to Ken about a career in Engineering. Sadly we learned of Ken's death upon our return from our son's Vanderbilt graduation with a degree in Mechanical Engineering in which Ken was undoubtedly part of that accomplishment. Ken loved all things military and often would engage me in discussions about military topics as I am a retired soldier. One of the greatest things Ken exemplified was how to be a husband, in his love for his wife, Connie. He was a good Christian man, a great husband, and a great community leader. Ken, no doubt is in heaven and his legacy is one of love and service to others. A life well lived my friend!

I have known Ken since March 1974, when we met at a meeting at Combustion, over the years before he retired I we met again at industry meetings, then about 10 years ago I saw him at a Chattanooga Engineers Club meeting where I was reminded of his friendly behavior and interest in others. Over the last 10 years I have found Ken to be an engaged, interested and encouraging friend to those he met! He reflected his faith in the way he interacted with all, we have lost a friend and colleague who will be truly missed!
