Default With Deepest Sympathy

I regret to inform the membership that Ken Waite Jr. age 71 passed away Feb 27th 2015 after a battle with Parkinsons and Cancer. For those of you that did not know Ken he was a past director of the PGCA and a life long collector of fine SxS guns and sporting art among his many other endevours.

Ken was a true gentleman of the highest order and I will miss him. We have lost a great friend....

Very sad news. I always remember seeing Ken at the CT shows. Always offered a kind word and well wishes. A real class act. Truly, one of "the good guys!"

Tool said it very well - "A real class act." Ken was a true gentleman and a fine sportsman and a friend to all - just a wonderful guy. His son, Ken III, is a testament to the kind of guy Ken Jr. was.

Rest in peace Ken, and condolences to his family.
