Such sad news.  To me Ken was synonymous with this wonderful site right from when I joined in 2006.  Although I never met him we exchanged many pleasant messages over the years.  RIP Ken and condolences to family and friends.

So sorry to hear this news.

For so many years, Ken was the dedicated, if occasionally gruff, heart of this site. His absence will leave a big void in all of us that have enjoyed the empire that his hard work built.

Rest in Peace, Ken.
