It’s hard to believe that Ken is gone—I’ll miss seeing him pass by as I make my way around Bernal Hill or stop in at the Yankee for some hot political talk.
Ken always had the scoop about the inner workings of City hall. His work and insights were well respected (as well as cause for consternation) with folks at City Hall and the Hall of Justice. His keen eye has been key to figuring out where the money was. I’m sure the ugly budget mess we’re facing now took its toll on Ken—will they ever pass a budget this year? Ken’s many years of service to the City were so much of his life. It is sad that his well deserved retirement did not materialize. We’ve been comparing notes on the retirement numbers for years.
As a friend, Ken was generous and one you could always count on. It is not surprising that he was often surrounded by many, many long-term friends.
Ken had a special place in his heart for children—nieces and nephews and children of friends. He always spoke fondly of time he spent as a mentor, tutor, and just hanging out with the young people in his life.
Ken has been a longtime friend, political advisor, liars (and other) dice tutor, Giants game companion.
I’ll sorely miss him.
