Got this very sad news today from a mutual friend; many members here who went to the NJ and PA toy soldier shows will know who Ken is, I affectionally called him "The bag man" as he used to come into the shows with three or four huge bags filled with boxes of toy soldiers.

I saw him about two years ago at the MFCA show, Tom Dubel and I did some horse trading with Ken, he was always open to a good deal on toy soldiers, both a buyer and a seller.

He hashad some health issues the past few years, also was involved in a bad car accident as well.

R.I,P. "Bagman", yet another member of our community who has passed away.

Wow, I knew Ken, bought some stuff for him and used to see him at shows. He was a teacher.

Real sad news.

I mentioned his passing to Mike De Marco who knew him well; he used to go to Mike’s store. Mike was shocked.

holy crap. I just saw Ken in Jersey. He seemed a little out of the ordinary and I thought well that is Ken being Ken. Now I wonder. That is terribly sad news. Had a lot of fun trading over the years.
