May God reunite him with his beloved Carol Ann.
I always enjoyed conversing with him. I bought a couple of books and a borescope from him. He had a unique intellect and character, that we won't likely see again.

Ken has been actively wishing to pass on for a long time. It's good that he no longer suffers.
Ken was a world-class authority on Mark Twain, a consummate dean of the English language, a global hunter, gifted photographer, cartridge designer, and a military veteran.
Adios, amigo.

Thanks for the notice. He was a wealth of knowledge acquired via experience. His days will be a bit easier now and the horizons a bit wider.

Nice sentiments, men, but my guess is that Ken has better things to than visit an internet site. Good guy, though, and I'm glad he is with the Lord.

Doc Howell was one of the great ones. Sorry to see him leave.
Looking forward to sharing another campfire with him later on.

Adios, amigo. We are diminished. No man is an island, Entire of itself, Every man is a piece of the continent, A part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less. As well as if a promontory were. As well as if a manor of thy friend's Or of thine own were: Any man's death diminishes me, Because I am involved in mankind, And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee. John Donne R.I.P. friend Ken.

He accomplished much in his sojourn here. I always liked to read his stuff, he had his opinions and could back them up. To all but the lead dog, the view is the same. Those who challenged him, were his distractors, they only revealed their relative position pulling the sled...  Rest is peace, Dr. Howell. You enriched us. DF

Did he leave a wife? A family? I believe his son is a member here.
