I was privileged to work closely with Ken for several years at Lockheed Martin’s Camden Arkanasas facility. His mechanical aptitude and talent for developing efficient manufacturing processes made him a significant contributor to the production of key military defense products that continue to protect our nation and our warfighters today and for many years to come. His contributions combined with his unique sense of humor seasoned by his dry wit made work fun. I will never forget Ken and I miss him very much. My deepest sympathy to his family and all those that knew him well…

Ken was my first boss when I entered the real world after college and he made a huge impact on my life. He was crazy and at the same time, a genius. I’ll never forget his antics in meetings and the respect he gave me as a young engineer. He had confidence in me when no one else did. He will be missed.
