Alicia ChovanI am thankful to have had the opportunity to meet Ken during a couple Real Estate transactions I helped his partner, Kathy, with. He had such a sweet smile and laugh. I could feel very quickly that he was a kind soul with a warm heart by the way he looked out for Kathy and conducted himself. Sending love to all who loved him!
