    To the Yarsky Family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Ken was a friend and professional colleague. I knew Ken through the local Allegheny County real estate bar and he was the utmost authority on Pennsylvania legislation, a challenging and ever-changing landscape that he kept us all up to date on for years. He was deeply respected in the field for his expertise and kindness. My deepest condolences on your loss. Sharon DiPaolo
