Only dealt with him once over the phone when ordering my brake boots and handle, very professional on the phone. Condolences to the King Family.

Add my prayers to the list for Ken & Sandy.

I am so shocked and saddened to read this thread. My prayers go out to Sandy and the family. I consider Ken to be a friend. I have purchased his high quality products, but more importantly, I have spent hours on the phone talking about other topics. From our beliefs to our hobbies. I felt like he was a brother and have only known him for a few years. We can all learn from this wonderful man. He would go out of his way to make other people happy. It was always more to him than business. Ken and Sandy, I am honored to have known Ken and will always keep him in my thoughts. God Bless.

He was a very nice guy. Offered to help me fix my seat even though I didn't even purchase it from him.
Sorry to see him go so soon.

Wow, I just talked to him Thursday night at like 11 becuase my visors came in that afternoon...

Ken was a great guy and always put his customers first, this is definately a tragedy to the corvette community

I'm saddened to hear of the loss of Ken. My heart goes out to Sandy and daughter. She is so young and beautiful to lose her day. We will remember Ken always as he made such an impression on me while dealing with him for interior products. Just a sweet heart of a guy.
Rest in Peace my friend

OMG! I can't believe this.. I just spoke to Ken a couple of weeks ago...

... he's such a great guy and very welcoming... I was shocked when he first told me, "Sure Dave... call anytime" after bs'ing with him. He will be missed...

...man... that's another great person we've lost in a week!

My prayers to his family...

Thank you for the great conversations and laughs about life, assault rifles and cars Ken... We'll miss you.

Dave
