In Memory . . .
In Memory of Ken King. May he always be remembered not only for his exceptional talent but for the great person he was and for all he gave to those that were blessed to have known him.
I received this today from Ken's mom.

Thank You for Remembering Ken
I still vividly remember hearing the news about Ken's passing. I was numb. I had just spoken with him the week before. A consumate gentleman, a car enthusiast (nut) like no other, I think of him often and feel thankful to have known and worked together with him on several projects. Someone of the Forum had posted the following on Ken's passing. I keep it on my bulletin board close by :
"I beleive that there are three undisputable truths:
1. There is a God.
2. There is a Heaven.
3 Ken King is there and at peace."
We miss you Brother Ken.

Every time I drive my car - I have this little reminder on the lower part of the windshield in front of me.
When I sit in my Vette Essentials interior and every time I receive a compliment on it - I like to think that Ken is looking down and smiling.
I never had the privilege of meeting Ken and shaking his hand, but several telephone conversations made me feel like an old friend.
I hope you're doing okay Cindy - thanks for sharing.

I had the priviledge of talking to Ken a few times when I was getting my interior done and then got to meet him and show him his handiwork at the 50th celebration. He was a true craftsman and someone that had a strong passion for the Corvette. I agree - he is missed very much.
