Ken's passing

[John Link]

Yes it was a sad shock. That this forum will continue will be a good memorial to his contribution. Do send me a copy of the spreadsheet.

So sad for Laura. Although I am on the other side of the world, I kind of feel like a kind of I knew Ken.
I will miss him here.
Ken had the ability to keep this forum alive with new posts and somethimes provoking but friendly comments. I did like that. And it is one of the things that kept me here over the years.
It is now up to us here to keep the forum alive in the near future. And remind Ken.

Wow - I just saw this post now and my stomach dropped. I am really shocked and saddened to hear this. Ken's generosity in providing assistance and setting up a welcoming environment for amateurs like me is what made me start building. My goodness. I am at a loss to fully grasp this. Even remotely through the internet, he had an impact on my life and many others.

Dave and Dennis from Anola extend their deepest condolence to Ken's family. A true treasure has been lost to our community.

I've been in conversation with his wife Laura and a few others here on the forum about how to proceed maintaining and perhaps enlarging the forum. We have a few members that really do understand the whole domain/hosting thing, which will be very useful as we continue on.
Will keep u posted!

BTW if any of us have yet to send condolences, Laura is at lauracierp@gmail.com. It does her good to hear from us.

Very sad to hear this. Ken has had a positive and lasting impact on so many luthiers including my self. I am glad to see that his legacy will live on and that this forum will continue to be a reminder of the contributions he has made to everyone here on this forum and beyond.

Laura contacted me today to say that a revision of the price list is in the works, she'll send it to me as soon as it is done, and I will post it here.
