Ken Knowlton was my father. He died nine days ago, on June 16, 2022. (The above date, July 17, 2022, is wrong.) I was his first-born son, and also named Ken Knowlton. My father died of Alzheimer’s disease. This must have been particularly disturbing for him, as he lived his life defining himself, based largely on his intellect.

I’ve been spending time online looking at interviews he’d given, in an attempt to put this into perspective.

  Hi Ken,
  Thank you for letting us know. I have updated the date in our post above. So sorry for your loss.
  We will be putting together a tribute webpage for your father to share with the G4G community. I would be happy to share the link with you when it is posted.
  All the best,
  Katie
