Thinking of you today Ken as I always do on 9-11. Ken was my Prometheus fraternity brother at Potsdam State. He was a very special person of great character with a positive spirit and great sense of humor. He always seemed able to lift up the people around him and create lemonade where other only saw lemons. I was so saddened to hear what happened but not surprised to learn of his bravery and courage in trying to help others. Ever in my thoughts. Hold the Fort!

I attended a 911 Memorial in Orlando, Florida yesterday. I selected his name at the ceremony. I just wanted the family to know that he is thought of.

I worked with Ken Cubas for many years at the Bank of New York. He was an intelligent, competent, engaging and caring person. I enjoyed the times that our paths crossed, and a deep sense of sorrow on his passing. My deepest sympathies go out to the family.

I had the honor today to wear the name of Kenneth John Cubas as a memorial for those that lost their life on 9/11. To his family I still offer my condolences in your lost. But his life did not go unnoticed today. Because today at Houston County High School in Warner Robins, Georgia, I made sure ppl knew who he was. Thanks for the honor of remembering him on this anniversary of that tragic event.

I am one of the lucky people who can say that they knew Ken Cubas. Yet, I really didn't know him. I only knew the pleasure it was to spend time with him (DEC). I didn't know his history and what a special person he was to his family and those that he touched. Now I know and I miss him more.

I knew Kenny for a short time and in that time I was able to experience his unselfishness towards others and the natural goodness within him. Thinking of u today Kenneth John Cubas. Rest In Peace friend of the world.

I have just recently been told of Ken's passing, but it still hurts and does not seem real. I will always remember the good times we had together, like fishing or catching a Red Sox game at Fenway together. Ken will always be remembered, and I thank god for the short time that I got to spend with him. I'm a better man because of it.

VERONICA HALL DAUGHTER OF ROBERTO HALL-CUBAS WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND HER THOUGHTS AND PRAYER TO MY RELATIVES, DOROTHY CUBAS AND FAMILY.

Kenneth, my family and I feel like we lost one of the family. We're all going to pray, not only every 9/11, but every Sunday. Hope we knew each other.

Love,

Our son, Nick, called today because he was thinking of you; he's now a professional firefighter 7 years and lost many brothers on that day. Nick always felt you and he had a strong connection. He said that when he was a small child, whenever he would see you, it didn't matter what you were doing, if he wanted your attention, you made him feel like the only one in the room. You made him feel very special and that's how he remembers you, Kenny. We remember how your smile would light up whatever space you occupied. Be in peace, always.

Healing is a continous process and with the faith and trust in the Lord, the Cubas family has remained strong and is still standing. Ken would be proud to see his nieces' growth and maturity over the years and how various matters have been handled. In fact, he was very instrumental in their upbringing as he always called them and gave them straight answers. I have him to thank for raising 2 lovely daughters. They miss him very much and do not suffer or bear any repercussions of greed from their family members. They are very humble and good servants actively managing a memorial fund in his name to provide scholarships. The fund has been well established by donations from his friends and immediate family members who know his life's wishes to help others in need. His entire family has been able to create beauty and love from what might have been despair. We remain our brother's keeper.

Thinking about you today Ken. Wish you were here...

Ken sounded like a great guy. I bet he was. I live in Boiceville and I lost my brother-in-law. I miss him so much and my heart breaks too.
It's not about the politics. It accomplished nothing except excruciating pain to innocent people. That's the bottom line. And only caused more pain and suffering for those innocent everyday people in the middle east. Especially the children. Like Anne Frank I still believe that most people are inherently good, but there is a pervasive evil in the world. I appreciate your sentiments. I was unable to go to NYC this year. It's the innocent lives lost that today is about and the anguish left behind in the people that loved them. I hope you find some peace today in the memory of Ken.

Peace and Love,
Another family member locally that knows how it feels.

Kenneth John Cubas - Kenny - was and shall forever remain, my husband. Each and every morning upon waking, I realize that this very good man has passed through this life in his selfless decision to help others out of Tower II. Having enjoyed life at his side for 25 years, I knew that morning what his actions would be - he would of course believe in his ability to lead others to safety, though that was not his 'job' per se, it was definitely his code of ethics. Beyond his heroic actions, he was fun and funny - I can still visualize his tremendous smile with eyes aglow. Each day sees both the utmost depths of despair, not only in the wake of his passing, but in all of the lessons we as family and society have not chosen to learn. I also choose to experience profound beauty in how I live each of my days' the greatest tribute I can now make to such a fine man. I wish we could be constructive in the aftermath of so many who died at once; asking the right questions, managing our anger and fear in such a way as to allow us all to lead our lives with compassion and honour. Ken died as he lived, and I would be heartened if we could all live well - rather than making one another's lives miserable, opting for war, and all the sad human choices we have chosen to exercise despite our ability to instead create love and beauty. One of our two nieces wrote an entry above earlier this month, I see that she too, is bearing the repercussions of the greed that has allowed family members to be so disrespectful of Ken, and his life choices. I SHALL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, KEN CUBAS. As for the misses Rachel and Lauren, agreed - we should still be spending holidays gathered together as a family. In fact, the night before he died, he told me (seemingly out of the blue) that should anything happen to him, his family would be my family. I understand the pain that comes with loss; I do not understand the pain that we needlessly direct toward other sentient beings. My heart remains open, though bruised.

Kenneth John Cubas was my uncle and I loved him dearly. He was my sister and I's biggest fan and we will miss him terribly. We will miss most of all, the holidays we would spend gathered together as a family. It is just not the same without you. Love you.

Ken - fun, caring, serious when needed.  Ken - brave, attentive, good dancer. Ken - athletic, charming and went back into the tower to guide people out.  Good Man!
