He worked across Canada as a Retail Manager, Real Estate Agent and for the Federal Government as a Purchasing Agent. After retiring, he returned to Dauphin to his first love - farming. Ken was an avid Conservationist and animal lover. He will be missed by his pets Troubie, Nuisie and his constant shadow Poochie . Ken had a great passion for fishing. He took every opportunity to do so and nothing pleased him more than spending time at the Lake. A celebration of Ken's life will be held on Wednesday, November 10, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. at Dauphin United Church, 37 3rd Ave NW, Minister Larry McPhail officiating, interment and reception to follow. Prior to the service, there will be a public viewing at 10:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations in Ken's memory would be greatly appreciated being made to the Dauphin Minor Hockey Association or the charity of one's choice. God grant that I may live to fish until my dying day and when it comes to my last cast I then most humbly pray. When in the Lord's safe landing net I'm peacefully asleep that in His mercy I be judged as big enough to keep. You will be loved and missed by all Sneath-Strilchuk Funeral Services 204-638-4110 www.sneathstrilchuk.com
