Fair winds Cuddles, I'll never forget the little Hula girl joke in the middle of the restaurant in NYC, dishes and silverware everywhere.

Our sincere condolences to the family. Ken and I were in Helo combat squadron -1 and he was responsible for telling me about and helping me join Delta We had many adventures as maintenance test pilots on that new Helo called the "hooky tooky"!! At HC-1. I will be forever grateful for him making sure that I got hired by DELTA. "Cuddles" was special- a great pilot and friend for so many years. God will have a smile welcoming Ken and everyone will remember those funny jokes.

Ken was first officer on my second trip with Delta (DC-6). He confirmed that I had joined up with the right outfit. Over the years we had the opportunity to share trips often, It would be hard to find a better traveling companion or pilot, One of the best!

Please accept my most sincere condolences. I had the pleasure of flying many trips out of Miami with Ken. He was wonderful pilot, was easy going and I learned much about being an airline pilot from Ken. I'm sure he is remembered with joy by all who flew with him.

I started at Delta in the same class. Ken was one of my first friends in Atlanta. We played golf and went fishing together . A joy to be around.

Ken was one of those who made our jobs at Delta so pleasant. You could not see Ken, with his infectious smile, without knowing that something positive and humorous was forthcoming. He was a great guy.

Sorry to hear of Ken's passing. I flew with him in the early days of my career with Delta and he was a joy to fly with. He never passed up an opportunity to add a good laugh to a trip out of Miami to some icy northern destination. He was a unique gentleman and will be sorely missed. My condolences to the family. Palm City, Fl.

So sorry about the passing of a decent good man who was the first person to introduce himself to us when we bought our property on Lost Lake.He always had a joke and great laugh will miss seeing him at his beloved red cabin on the lake.

Sad to hear of Ken's passing. Many fond memories of flying the "9" with "Cuddles." He had an expansive sense of humor that kept the crew going on long hot 8 leg days. Please be assured that his fellow crewmembers enjoyed trips with Ken.
