The memories I have of KenJ started in May 2012. He sent a PM to me with a question about one of my stories. From there the conversation continued until a month before his death.
KenJ was a very intelligent and interesting man. Our email conversations ranged from neurotoxins to the proper way to disarm an opponent to the way to debug a computer from a rather nasty virus. Whew! He made me laugh with wry observations about me always including delightful meals when Lois and Clark got together for a date. Some of those discussions became pretty intense because each writer has a different way to present a character. I learned a lot from those conversations.
He loved writing about Lois and Clark! Many a time he would send over a chapter of a new story for me to beta. At the end of each email he would say, "Just in time for lunch!" His Matchmaker series was intricate and long, but I got a hoot out of reading it. Especially during long flights. As soon as the plane touched down or the boat docked I would PM him to say thanks for the enjoyable read.
Although we never met I will always think of him as a close friend. As Labrat mentioned, he was a quiet and gentle force on the boards and will be greatly missed. I have no doubt his able assistance helped a lot of us climb out of a deep plot hole.
He was a great help to me personally, especially when Ted had his heart attack a few years ago. He shared tips on proper exercise and diet which helped Ted get back on the road to health. Little things like that I will be eternally grateful for.
Good-bye Big Brother, I will work hard to write Lois and Clark stories that would make you proud.
