I learned quickly that Ken always spoke what was on his mind, never holding back, good or bad. From that point on we always had fun and humorous chats when we met up at shows and was pleased to call him a friend. Ken is definitely one of the legends and characters in our hobby that cannot be replaced and will be sorely missed.

He found the pits and pulled from the ground bottles that I could only find in my dreams! Rest in peace Ken.

Many of envied a person who could stop for gas in Oakland and dig an amber Gold dust whiskey in the same stop. I enjoyed attending many shows with Ken and trading soda bottles back and forth. He will be missed by many and I am happy to have considered him a FRIEND MAXcal 49erhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461641832059434651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842291092692051858.post-4276128474130786162016-02-18T11:36:47.497-08:002016-02-18T11:36:47.497-08:00I always enjoyed "haggling" with Ken at ...I always enjoyed "haggling" with Ken at the shows.
