I was so sad to read of Ken's passing. I visited him last September and am so happy I did. We reconnected when I moved back to Iowa in 2014, and I enjoyed meeting for lunch when I had an appointment in Iowa City. Ken was a friend and a mentor. I made a career in the US Army Reserve because of Ken, and I am so proud to have served with him. I have many memories of time we spent at weekend drills and at annual training assignments. I will miss him.
Oh how sad I am to see this today. I loved your parents so much. I met both your parents 25 to 30 yrs ago. Not only seeing your mom weekly in my chair(hairstylist), but they were also neighbors. My girls loved to trick or treat there as your dad would always give them a handful of candy. His memorable phrase"This was the bright spot in my day". He was one of a kind and he will be missed. Love to you all, Nancy Cassady
