I wish to celebrate a life well lived. It sounds like Ken was a great guy. Us Octogenarians have seen many great events come and go. Seems like Ken should be honored and remembered by the Ham Radio Community. Condolences to the family. Bob VA3 PTL

We were saddened to hear of Ken's death. We used to enjoy our visits at the end of the road. And helping on the Speigel Site as "experts". Judith and Peter Traulsen

My condolences to the Buchanan family. Ken was a very good man. I knew Ken and Eva since the 1960s. They were wonderful people. They both gave tremendously to society. They will be missed but not forgotten. Richard R. Forget, VE3DUW, Hanmer, ON
