I went to school with Ken when we were both in the rehab counseling program in Lincoln. He was generous with his time and with his heart. I was a shy, scared young girl from NY and Ken made me feel safe and supported. A gentle giant, Ken fainted watching a hip replacement video in class one day. HE reminded us that we are all human beings first and clinicians second. My deepest sympathy to his wife and siblings. It is truly a great loss.
