To a dear friend, Ken K you will not be forgotten

[StressCadet]

Frank,

Was Ken K a Monopoly Champion by chance?

There is documentary being filmed about The Monopoly Championship and the film crew came to the school where I work today and filmed some students playing Monopoly with a Monopoly Champion. So, I was reading the story in our local paper online and found this link Under the Boardwalk - A MONOPOLY Documentary to see about the filming. I click on the trailer at the bottom and starting watching and then up comes the 2003 Monopoly Champion Ken Koury. I am almost positive this is the same man. I never knew Ken but I know he was well loved and if this is him, that you would all probably enjoy "seeing" him again.

I second this that KenK be kept on top of the forum for all that had crossed path's!

I know Ken is the one that had me try Tug which also lead me here from TripAdvisor. I just never new how important he was on TripAdvisor until he was gone.

I still visit TripAdvisor but not as much because of just noticing the information and help wasn't the same any longer.

The vacation site has turned boring at times with little timeshare knowledge as before.

Seems to just be all over the place and with many people that really not helping others and more just making their statements and moving on.

That is not his last name

Sorry to disagree with you Frank but that was his last name, just spelled with an 'I' at the end.
HOWEVER, I viewed the trailer and that is not our KenK.

Thanks for trying Stressy

It might have been an email or sign on moniker but I believe his last name was Kekouri. I always just knew him as Ken K. He was a great guy; lots of knowledge and always willing to impart some of it to others. For those who had the good fortune to meet him, here is a picture from a TUG getogether many years ago in Orlando (he's the second from the right--next to Craig Urbine, former VP at Interval International:

You are right and here are still some of his pictures from a get-together last year. I don't believe that he posted a picture of himself. His last name is at the top. I never knew him but we exchanged emails or PMs about the Apple Store when he was here because his Mac failed and he shared some childhood stories too. He sounded like a real nice guy. What a shame he is gone at such a young age.

I know I have seen a picture of Ken, perhaps of an old TUG get together. If my memory serves me he seemed to be a tall man.
