We are very sad to learn of Ken's passing, but at the same time, we are happy that we were able to see him not too long ago and experience his wonderful smile, great sense of humour, and joyful personality - he was a wonderful soul and a true gift to anyone who crossed paths with him. Our deepest condolences to Janet and the entire family - Our thoughts are with you and we hope that all the wonderful memories that you have will help you get through this difficult time.

Aunt Jeanette, Kenda, Scott and Families:
From my family to all of you, our sincerest condolences on the passing of Uncle Ken. Though our visits over the past years were few, we always looked forward to them when we knew we would get a chance to visit. Uncle Ken's infectious smile and laugh was always enjoyable to be around and some of my best jokes were passed on to me from him. Never short of those! Deb, Matthew and I are truly thankful we had the opportunity to visit with yourselves over the last couple of summers and will do it again.
Again our deepest sympathies to all of you in the passing of a truly caring and wonderful man. We will always have him in our hearts.
