My dear little brother-
I am blown away by how much I miss you, how often I think about you, and how emotional I become when I do. Can you hear us - sharing stories about you, funny ones that celebrate your incredible sense of humor? How is it that you, someone who was blessed with so little, was able to give back so much?
In all my life I've never met anyone who complained less than you did. You managed your life better than uncountable people I can name; people who weren't buried under the devastating physical handicap that you were.
You must be an incredibly powerful and ancient soul - so powerful that you were able to endure a lifetime of such extreme disability. I believe that now more than ever!
To say that you were an inspiration is an understatement.
I have so many memories! We spent so much time together. We had so much fun together. A person really had to be there - and I was. And I will always be grateful.
You, little brother, were the best gift our family was blessed with.
Meet me on the other side, please, Ken - I'll be looking for you!

"He was born with the gift of laughter, and a sense that the world was insane"
- "Scaramouche", by Rafael Sabatini
Ken was an inspired and spirited person to be with, as evidenced by his huge popularity and the large number of people who's lives he touched. Despite a lifelong debilitating handicap, he remained cheerful and positive, if not about his life, then about yours, up till the end. He had more to complain about than most people I know, and complained less than most people I know. He strived all his life to have a positive impact, and to leave the world a better place for his presence. And he did, there's no question about that. I took pleasure in the trips that I made to NJ to be with him - no more fun or worthwhile way to spend my vacation time, in my opinion. That's gone now, and I'm already missing our time together. So sleep well, little brother, next time we see each other, you'll be free of that stupid wheelchair.
