Dear Glenda: So sorry to learn of Ken's death. The barbershoppers enjoyed having him in the chapter and I (Arline) enjoyed our time in the auxiliary together. Before Ken retired we used to see him in Oak Bank and had a little visit. Take care - we will be thinking of you. - Posted by: Norv & Arline Christopherson (Friends) on: Apr 07, 2017

So sorry to hear of Ken's passing. Loved to get his emails. Will remember him to the Winnipeg Golden Chordsmen, to which he belonged for many years. Take care Glenda and family. Ken is ringing chords with his friends who also sang with the Barbershop Society. - Posted by: Brian Sanderson (Friend) on: Apr 07, 2017

Hi Glenda and family, So sorry to hear of Ken's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you. You will have many wonderful memories of the good times you had together. Still remember seeing you both when we all lived in Neepawa. Still hear about you through Bill and Sheila Toth. Ken will be greatly missed. All the best. Take care.
