Ken was one of the first guys in the section I met when I came to my first drill in November 1974. I could always rely on him even when he gave me a hard time on general principles. He was my rock during my first summer camp in 1975 as an A1C at Tinker AFB when we got the easy site, staying at the Planet Inn and Diddle was at Fort Chaffee in a tent. Whenever he talked about Stella, you could always hear love in his voice. All of us miss him and will keep him in our memories forever. No matter where we went, he was welcome and needed.
