  • Dear Mildred, and family, I'm so sorry for your loss. I just heard yesterday of Kenneth's passing. I will never forget the amazing meals created by Ken that I was fortunate to have enjoyed while looking out over the city. I still talk about how he could get every carrot perfectly square in exactly the same size. Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers, Mary-Anne McKillop - Posted by: Mary-Anne McKillop (Friend) on: Jan 17, 2017
