I never knew Ken, and this might be my first ever post to this list, and I won't be able to make it.

This is an incredibly touching tribute to somebody who clearly meant a lot to people here and I would be touched if people gathered in my memory in the same way.

I wonder if people who are in contact with his family and relatives might be able to let them know that it is happening so that they are aware that people are raising a glass in his direction. 

And of course, doubtless, they would be welcome if they felt they wanted to come along too.
