Apologies for misspelling his last name.  I have a close friend who is Ken Anderson who also passed away about 3 years ago from cancer.

This is quite sad...when I wrote a SQLCLR book, Ken's book's were the 'model' we were told to use. His 'guru' books were very top-notch and while I did not know him personally we can all very much identify with his passion for SQL Server & writing to help others learn.

He will be missed...

I am still shocked by this. I would like to pass on my condolences to his family. I will always remember Ken as someone who was so generous with his time and energy in helping me whenever I asked. A great man, who gave a lot. He will be greatly missed.

I think many people are working in SQL Server product team, but I have never seen anybody like him. Indeed he was a Guru.

God created Ken and then he created SQL Server for Ken to live  and play with it. Such an intellectual and at the same time generous to everyone around is sad to be missed....

Let God shower more blessings and give support to Ken's family who used to love his kids so much.  Its a profound shock and disbelief for me to miss him.

I did not believe when somebody told me at MVP Summit  2008

that Ken passed away.

Ken Henderson is and will be my SQL SERVER  hero.

His books changed my life.

I am using his life recommendations - learn as much as can ...

Ken will always live in our hearts and his books.
