He cut my hair for years, he was always caring for the kids that caught the bus outside his shop. He was a pillar of the community, supporting kids youth programs.

I hate to hear of Ken's death. I went to his shop for years. I wear my hair short and loved the way he cut it. And he was also my landlord for awhile. Sending prayers for the family.
