Ken was such a bright spirit and a joy to be around. He always had a smile, a story, or a laugh to share, and his tales from his trucking days were some of my favorites. I’ll miss his sense off humour. He will be deeply missed. - Posted by: Tina Kemp (Friend) on: Oct 13, 2025

I am so sorry to hear that Uncle Ken has Passed away, but at the same time, Happy that he no longer has to deal with Health struggles. I will never forget when I was a child visiting my Grand Parents farm & using a fishing pole that Uncle Ken got us kida from in the farmhouse so I could cast a line to catch chickens, Uncle Ken laughed but then had to fess up to Grandma that he is who got us kids the fishing pole, Grandma was upset because she said that making the chickens chase after the lure was making the meat tough, which it never did, the meat was always delicious. When I was older Uncle Ken loved when I phoned to talk to him & you Auntie Trudy & he always had a memory to share. I will Miss you deeply Uncle Ken, but never in my wildest dreams did I see Losing both Uncle Ken & my husband Terry in the same year. Rest In Peace Uncle Ken, I am sure that Terry & my Granddaughter Ruby & her yellow lab Cash, will be part of the Welcoming Committee to meet you when you arrive in Heaven. I will see you again sometime in the future Uncle Ken. I promise that I will keep calling Auntie Trudy to make sure that she is doing ok. I will Always Love You Uncle Ken & I will give you a Big Hug when I see you again. - Posted by: Deborah Rota (Niece) on: Oct 12, 2025
