Ken was a long time friend and great man.
i'll never forget his auote while he and I stood at the end of the runway at the airport in Madison while his crew was installing a platform on one of the tanks we built for him.
A military fighter jet was taking off and we were watching it in awe of the power and acceleration and just as it turned the nose up ans went almost straight vertical, ken said "IF I HAD ONE OF THOSE I WOULDN'T NEED BEER!!!" I lost it and we both laughed for 10 minutes!!
Great man and he will be missed!!
My Sincere condolences to his family.
