I got to know Ken Hendricks through my work with the Rockford Area Ventures developing the Essex building (a former munitions factory) that he had recently purchased. Many of us involved with the project were excited about repurposing the facility as a global center for innovation. Ken was an inspirational character—little ego, optimistic, entrepreneurial and a man of great accomplishments. I remember a number of meetings with him revolving around the future of the Rockford economy—K-12 education, leadership, business incubators, emerging markets, green technology, wind turbines and broadband access among others. His insights were respected and he was always encouraging those around him to get on with the job. He was a visionary and, more significant, an actionary. He will certainly be missed.
