Kenneth Soohoo

Ken was a creator. Generous, kind, and brilliant. In his youth he would paint these exquisite D&D lead figures and gift you one if you were lucky. he truly loved computers and creating with them (Ataris with the touch screen membrane keyboard). Decades later, he would congratulate others on their jobs, while making no fuss over his amazing career as covered by Forbes. Humble. Always thinking of others. A good man. Fought the good fight. Didn’t have it easy. One of the best people I ever met. Rest in peace, my condolences to his family.

Kenneth, thanks for all the great times on the court. He loved tennis, he played as part of a doubles group at 7 in the morning with us. I choose him as a partner because he was always out on the court with his son practicing. He had what I call “love of the game”. Rest in peace my friend. Nour Mye

Ken. You were a fun cousin to hang out with. I remember the days we would ride your go kart down the hill, nearby Daly City. I remember the days when we discussed space-time continuum. We were both still young pre-teens (I think you might have been 9 years old!). – nancy

I was so surprised to learn of Ken?s passing, just now, unexpectedly. Yesterday I was chatting about the recent United Airlines ?passenger removed from aircraft? situation with a colleague and said, I have a story for you about a past experience on United. I formerly worked with Ken at Planetweb in PR and we had traveled to NY on business. On our return flight home from JFK leaving 6 pm-ish we had the flight nightmare that not many ? fortunately ? have to go through! It started with leaving gate, then 2-3 hours sitting on the tarmac due to an issue with the plane. Then back to the terminal, waiting, and waiting at the gate until after midnight to hear from airline ? finally – about rerouting us all onto another flight. Throughout the ordeal, we had been advised to stick close to the gate as there were no restaurants close by. Then after midnight over the PA a heavily, heavily accented voice explained what was next. We couldn?t understand a word he said. We were all tired and cranky, though Ken – always with a great attitude said – ?I heard baggage?.? That was about all you could make out. Next, we had to retrieve our bags (still no dinner), head to a bus and waited to be taken to a hotel for the evening. But things got worse. The bus broke down and we had to ?de-bus? and get on another bus and then finally head to the Hilton – in the worst part of town, with a chain link fence surrounding it. We arrived around 2 AM (no dinner still), facing vending machines, last call in the bar, and told we had a 6 AM flight we had to be on. It was quite a night though it all Ken was calm, smiling, whipping out a deck of cards to pass the time. He bought me and another passenger we met on the plane each a beer at the Hilton and we all turned in. When we got back to Planetweb the next day, Ken had jotted down the *entire* United spectacle we had endured, step by step. He hung the list outside his office. .. It is memory I will never forget and I still joke about, mostly, though it was Ken?s approach to the whole thing, which was so characteristic of him, though thick and thin, Ken was always calm, smiling, supportive, listening, respectful, and the best sport, ending his emails with a winking face ;-), a habit I took up as well. A wonderful and talented individual in so many ways, he will never be forgotten ;-).
