Sending strength , love and peace to the entire family... please know you are in our thoughts ..love Bernadette, John, Bailey and Phoenix
my strongest memory of Uncle Ken was when we came to Canada and lived on the farm - it involves a horse and some sneaky chickens. I had always wanted a horse and uncle ken talked at great length with me about the responsibilities of having a horse - he was patient and understanding. The chickens came into play when he taught me that chickens hid their eggs and it was my job to find them in the haybarn. I loved it. He spoke to me in a calm soothing manner that made me feel grown up . I send strength to Auntie Ann and Diane and hope that peace surrounds them.
Long time friends. Sorry to hear he is gone.
Dear Anne and family. My condolences on the passing of Ken. I was so sorry to see this. May God's peace and comfort surround you now and in the coming days. I'm sorry I won't be able to attend the service. I would love to see you. Know that you are in my prayers. Blessings to you.
Dear Anne and family We are still in shock to hear of Kens passing ….I had just mentioned to Leigh the other day that we hadn't spoken with Ken for some time ….to call him ….I can only hope that both you and the kids/grandkids can take some peace in all the wonderful loving memories that you all have of such a wonderful , soft spoken, kind man ...may he rest in peace ….and I am sure that if there is a computer to be found in heaven Ken already has it in his possession ..With loving regards and fondest memories of a great person whom we shall never forget ...Leigh and Debbie
