Ken was a great friend of mine for over forty years. We had our gun group that got together once a week at some ones home for a few beers and show and tell. It was always fun to see what Jake and Ken had come up with. This finally came to an end, but we still got connected at the gun shows. I have a lot of great memories of Ken and I shall miss him. One of the things I never counted on in old age was saying good by to so many old friends. Tom Shinko
