Online fund-raiser for medical costs for Rud's Ken Pyle

[Robin Garr]

Family and friends of Ken Pyle have set up a fundraising campaign to help with uncovered medication costs. Please show your support!

Ken Pyle is a prince of positivity. Whether it be with his family, his friends, his church or his one-of-a-kind establishment The Rudyard Kipling in Louisville, KY, Ken has always emphasized joy and peacefulness in all things. Recently, Ken was hospitalized with an infection caused by complications with his knee replacements. He has had 2 successful surgeries but still suffers from the infection that spread to other parts of his body. Ken has Medicaid which covers his doctor bills, hospitalization, and what at the time of this campaign looks to be 6 weeks in nursing home, but his very costly medication is not covered. This campaign is raising funds for this.

So sorry to hear about Ken's medical problems. Ken has always been a great guy not just in the restaurant business but as a supporter of the arts in general. In fact, saying he is a supporter of the arts is putting it mildly. I'd hate to think of all the theatre /comedy/drama/music Louisville would have missed out on had it not been for Ken. I'm checking out his site now.

Amen, Carla. Ken has been a stalwart supporter of the arts for decades. I think the Rud was one of the first venues I played in when moving here in the late 80s. I wish him all the best for a healthy recovery and am headed over to the site now.
