I am sorry to see this months after his passing. I knew Ken many years ago due to our involvement with the World Affairs Council. He was exceptionally honest, decent and wise. Just the right advice at the right time. . a real mentor. I am sorry I didn't get a chance to reconnect with him. G-d bless the family.
Besides being supportive of the University, Ken was a loyal Johnian who almost always attended College events in the bay area and highly regarded by all. A deservedly popular man.
I have many great memories of Kenneth Broome. He and his wife Heather generously hosted an afternoon tea at their home just off the Skyline Drive during the wildflower season in 2007. Ken was a frequent attender at Cambridge Alumni events, including the annual Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race Dinner in San Francisco. He came out to our mixers at the Stanford Park Hotel, sharing his ideas. Sometimes I worried about him driving 84 late at night, but he never seemed to fear the roads. On a memorable evening he wanted to join a British American Business Council pub quiz as part of the Cambridge Alumni team and I suggested we took the BART for the latter part of the journey. He enthusiastically told me about building the BART and enjoyed the ride. On another occasion I was jogging at the end of 84 and found Ken with his dachshund taking a walk. Once I played the piano for a SpiritCare service at Brookdale (then Woodside Terrace) and Ken showed up. Another time I sang with the church choirs from Portola Valley and Woodside at Woodside Village church and who was singing too - Ken. He was a great conversationalist, a terrific encourager and lover of life. He will be missed.
My heartfelt condolences for the loss of your beloved, Kenneth. Please know that Jehovah God and his son Jesus Christ is aware of your pain and they care for you. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) . I pray that you are able to find comfort in God's promise of paradise where there will be no more pain and sorrow (Revelation 21:4,5) and the many wonderful memories of your beloved becoming a reality in the future resurrection in paradise. (Acts 24:15). Please accept my sincere condolences. (JW.org)
