Ken Kawabata

[Alvin]

I met Ken in 2021 by chance near the Bay Trail by my work. He was walking his dog and noticed I was driving Sora. Ken was a huge car enthusiast, and fellow Datsun Roadster owner.
His '70 SRL:


He also owned several race cars:


I bumped into Ken on a Thanksgiving Day drive up at Alice's Restaurant. He was in his Porsche 912, totally excited to share photos of his stable with others:


He is survived by his wife Ruth(below)


Rest in Peace, Ken

Thank you for sharing Alvin. We can all relate to his passions and the joy he shared with others and from which we all benefit.

I would run into Ken either at the Chevron Millbrae Skyline gas station or around crystal springs dam, loved his 912 too, thanks for sharing, he will be greatly missed, always friendly and willing to chat cars. The hills of San Bruno and the peninsula will be quiet without Ken and his cars
