My dear friend Ken,
I am unable to truly express the gratitude of the impact you had in my life. As a scientific collaborator you taught me tons about equality, perseverance, creativity and precision, at all levels including communication. You challenged me to improve and to take the risk of exploring creative and unexpected paths in science.
Yet, what I am going to miss more, my friend, is your giant personality, and your cynical, intelligent and sharp sense of humour. I will miss our friendship, discrete and loyal; your capacity to rise above; your enthusiasm for music, arts and literature; your complex and beautiful soul.
The world will be noiseless without your laugh.
With admiration, your friend Cris
