... I am having a dickens of a time finding his birthdate/birthyear.

Can't help on that specific request but, in case it's of any assistance, I saw an online obit which said he was 66 when he died.

The memorial was Khen-worthy as was the after gathering.

Many thanks for the birthdate. The obits - and postings to the Southern Fandom Classic listserv - give me plenty of material to cull together a nice tribute to Khen.
