And in my opinion, the splendor and beauty of that collection could be described as nothing less than astonishing, and you can tell that just from the photos. But, one thing that I want to say in his tribute, and that is, that in his love and passion for collecting, he put together a collection that goes well beyond legendary – it is trruly a remarkable and stunning masterpiece - a work of art in its own right. Now, with deep regret, I will have to say that I will never have that chance. In the time that I knew of Ken, I learned of his legendary collection, one in which he had extended to me an invitation to view if I ever made it up to Anderson.
And now with sorrow, I have come to realize that he had a greater passion, and one beyond anything I ever thought possible. I only talked with Ken a few times over the years at some of the select bottle shows that I would attend and found that he had as much of a passion for collecting bottles as I do. It was a special part of his life, both for himself and the many, many people he’d known for much of that life.
Ken knew his hobby as well as anyone alive. As one friend told me, “he collected for others as much as himself.” If he wanted it he paid the price and the only thing he was thinking is where in the heck he was going to find room for it. If you knew Ken he shot from the hip and if you dealt with him you also knew no one was fairer in negotiating a deal.

If one were to imagine a collection of anything from old movie posters to Faberge eggs, in Ken’s world he had them all. Just think of any western whiskey and he most likely had it. To even try and explain in words what Ken had is impossible. There are collections that can get ones heart rate up pretty quickly, but Ken amassed a grouping and displayed it with an open heart and a special sense of sharing that is unequaled. He and his wife, Teenie, were gracious custodians who enjoyed nothing more than to have collectors and friends come and view his amazing museum. When we’d go to the Anderson bottle show, it was as much as going to Ken’s as it was the show. His collection put his hometown of Anderson on the map. I’m told there are only a fraction of the western whiskey bottles out there he didn’t have. The time he invested into creating the collection and then his magnificent museum is a testament to the way he approached the hobby. It was more than collecting this and that, it was an all-out effort to find not just the best, but the best and the most. What set Ken apart from other collectors was his devotion to his hobby, collecting antique western whiskey bottles.
