"All of us at Shurtleff & Andrews are sorrowed to hear of Ken's passing. He was an accomplished Engineer, meticulous in his work and dedicated to each and every project that he participated. Having the opportunity to work with Ken on some the same projects, I also know of his wry humor, which added to the pleasure of working with him. From all of our employees, we offer our condolence to the Derifield family."
