Kenneth Kaye
Dec. 27, 1943-Sept. 15, 2007
Mountain View, California

Mountain View resident Kenneth Kaye died Sept. 15. He was 64.

Kaye was born in Milwaukee, Wis. on Dec. 27, 1943. He earned a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and a law degree from Stanford University.

After serving two years as a lieutenant in the U.S. Army, Kaye returned to California in 1973 and set up practice in Menlo Park. He specialized in wills and trusts, and was known as an extremely ethical man who would rather resign from a job than help clients cheat.

He eventually moved his practice to Palo Alto, and then to Los Altos. Kaye played an active role in his community for many years, serving a term as president of the Los Altos Kiwanis Club. He was frequently involved with local organizations, among them the Community Services Agency, Miramonte Mental Health Services and the Los Altos Meditation Program.

He is survived by his wife, Diane Gershuny, and his children Eva and Aaron.
