I can't believe its been that long already. Ken was a kind gentleman who I always used to get into deep conversations with about firearms. I almost got him to trade me an entire Vette Essentials interior for a couple of my firearms.

Thanks for reminding me of him.

See you on the other side Ken!

HUGE loss.

Seems sometimes like it was yesterday.

Thanks Denny for posting and remembering, Ken would be very happy about that! No doubt he's looking down and smiling.

Seems like only yesterday I was talking to him when he did the interior on the '00 I had. He is definitely missed. RIP Ken.

Even though I haven't posted the forum in about a year,
I have to chime in "That He is Greatly Missed".
