Ken Anusavice adored people, teaching, science, and his wife and family. Those things drove his life as a friend, colleague, husband, and father. He was the 32nd AADOCR president (2003–2004). He was lost to us on September 30, 2021. This tribute to Ken includes stories and special personal moments beyond accolades of his packed curriculum vita. Special insights into Ken Anusavice’s life and contributions are provided by friends and former students.
