Dear Marion,
This is such sad news.
Ken seemed so well just a few weeks ago.
Ken was always so enthusiastic about astronomy and space exploration. Each time we met, I appreciated his vision and sense of wonder. He was always so kind to me.
Please convey my condolences to his family and to all his friends at SMCAS.
Pascal.

As you know, Ken Lum, I am sad to report that he passed away unexpectedly on Monday, May 12, likely heart attack. Ken was a long time member of SMCAS, very active in our outreach as well as in astronomy activities in the Bay Area and beyond.
