Somewhere, someone needs awesome Pontiac engines built more than we do. A pioneer in this community. He will be missed. My heart is with his family.

RIP my friend.

Never had the pleasure of meeting Ken. But as a frequent visitor here I know the Pontiac Dude was a very big deal with everything Pontiac. RIP Ken.
