He loved dogs and was an avid supporter of many non-profit and charitable organizations. He was also an insatiable reader and gourmet cook. Ken was known for his quick wit, infectious smile and kind and compassionate spirit.
He is survived by his niece, Jennifer (Zeller) Gutierrez, and many loving and trusting friends including John Bonnette. He was the beloved cousin of Patricia Westcott, Elizabeth Edwards, Lois Cady and Lori Beth Davies.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made in Ken's name to the St. Jude's Children Research Hospital or the Windham County Humane Society.
A memorial will be held at a later date.
