Ken's life was much too short. He was a wonderful caring man, who had much to live for. We always enjoyed playing bridge with he & Charlene even if they always beat us. Charlene our thoughts are with you. Barbara & Bill - Posted by: Barbara & Bill Irish (friend) on: Aug 17, 2013

Ken was one terrific guy, very caring with a great sense of humour. Barb and I really enjoyed spending time with him and Char in Kelowna last year. My sister was lucky to have you as a partner, it was meant to be. - Posted by: wally (brother in law) on: Aug 08, 2013
