Due to the current pandemic, we will not be able to gather in person to remember and celebrate the life of Ken Torrance; his family has indicated that they hope to be able to host a celebration of his life sometime between Easter and early June, public health permitting.

One alternative we would like to share is an opportunity to share messages about Ken.  These could be destined for department members, or the family, or both.  Messages for the family will also be compiled into physical form, analogous to guest signing books at in-person memorials.

Some tributes have already been submitted by email, and those do not need to be duplicated here, but we offer this form as another method to submit your thoughts.

  • Please indicate your connection to Ken
  • Wishes/stories/messages to be relayed to Ken's family and/or the DGES students, staff, and faculty.
  • Do you intend this message to be passed on to Ken's family, to the DGES community, or both?
  • Drop files here or
  • Can we post your tribute on a public web page?
