My sincere condolences and prayers to the family to ease your sorrow over the loss of Ken. I met him when I returned to Orangeburg in 1994 as a working adult to get a Bachelor's degree. I was six years older than him so I never knew him from high school but I was so glad I did meet him in college. He was one of the smartest, and quietly funny people that I've met. His warm heart, teasing humor and brilliant smile while hours in computer lab, working through homework problems and reviewing tests answers made some of my best school memories. He was very competitive with his grades so he always challenged me, especially when he would bring up my age in a situation. Always respectful about that though so I never got upset about it. By doing so I become a better student than I would have otherwise, so I've always appreciated that. Ken had such a shining bright soul, and a genuinely nice person and I will truly miss him.

I´ve known Ken for close to 30 years. We met at SCSU and worked together in the computer center. We then attended the same graduate school, roomed together, and worked at the same company (on the same team). He was my kid´s Godfather. He was a God fearing man who loved his family. If you asked him for advice, he would jokingly say "Don´t plant your corn in the winter" and the laugh out loud. He will truly be missed. May God bless his family!!
