Calihoosier Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 Almost feels like a bad dream that he has reallly passed but what I want to remember him by how humble he was and how rarely he spoke about his life I think in one of his posts in the past he mention he was Vietnam veteran though not sure if that was correct so please correct me if I’m wrong but only mention that once if I remember right from his posting. It really fits his persona never self absorb and was always concern about others he really was a great guy gone too soon. I’m not religious but I really like to believe there’s some afterlife after this for his sake because I really like to grow up like him one day he set a real good example like my father who passed away five years ago when I was 19 December 10 so I know what’s it like to lose a love one during this time was still numb from the pain going to a funeral during Christmas so for his family’s sake please let me know how to donate to his wife and i send my condolences to her may he Rest In Peace.

Wafflehead_Fred Posted December 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 All, Please see the link to the GoFundMe. I'm also editing my original post to have it included. Thank you to everyone for the kind words, stories and expressions contained in this thread. I will be showing to his family and I'm sure they will be touched to know how he was viewed and will be remembered. https://www.gofundme.com/f/ken-kurowski?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 I remember talking with Ken recently and discussing our love for Jeopardy. He said he couldn't imagine the show without Alex being on there. How he was watching every episode. Never thought he would not be here to see the last episode. I watched last night and it was a rerun but I could not help but think about our friend Mile!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many times in the wee hours of the morning when I couldn't sleep I would get on and there he w was. I would send him a message and ask him if he ever slept and of course he would ask me the same thing. I wish I could of visited him in Colorado and I wish he could of made it to Michigan. Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda! I miss my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was nothing to be discussed during that show, only Jeopardy to be enjoyed. It was a household commitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on all the time. He would say that since he was retired, he had no real schedule so he would sleep whenever he wanted which meant he was up at all hours haha. It makes sense that he seemed to always be on. It also goes to show how much he invested into the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never done a fundraiser like this before so I had no idea what to make for a goal, so I just threw the number out there. I also reached out to the local IU chapter to see if they can distribute to the Colorado IU family and another friend of mine and I posted to a couple of veteran boards, as well. My girlfriend and I have yet to contribute, too, so I'm hoping we soar right over the goal. I completely agree with your sentiments about loss this time of year. I will see her tomorrow as we're attending a funeral for an elderly friend of her family. Tough times all around this year 😪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morganmonroe Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 If Ken were on this page of the thread he'd already have a classic Jeopardy episode posted. Ken, this is for you my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
