I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Ken Henrick, who served Methuen in many different capacities over the years, as well as serving his country as a Marine. I had the unique pleasure of serving with him on the Methuen City Council, with the term starting in 2000. While we did not agree on all issues we became friends, and I enjoyed his company very much. We did have some fun together, usually at my expense. He had a great wit, which he deployed frequently, and while he could be tough he truly cared for people, and he was always willing to talk through problems and try to find reasonable compromise. Thoughts and prayers for his family. We will miss him.
