Ken was such a warm and friendly man with a quiet sense of humour. In the nearly 50 years I have known him, Ken always had a kind word and a tolerant outlook on the foibles of the world.
He will be so sorely missed by his family and his many friends.
His was a good life well lived.

Ken became a great friend to us during the last ten years at the Russley Village. We will remember him fondly for his wonderful sense of humour and his tenacity for never giving up on anything that was a challenge for him. He will be very sadly missed at our Village, especially our Aquasize class and the Whiskey Club. May he rest in peace. Irene & Bill Edgar, Villa 24, Russley Village.
