Kim, I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your father. I remember your Dad when I first came to the Licensing Dept at the MLCC, as a kind and gentle man. I was honored to have known him. - Posted by: Elaine O'Reilly (MLCC Co-worker) on: Dec 30, 2013

Pam, Naomi happened to see Ken's obituary in the Winnipeg Free Press. We are so sorry to hear of your loss. We enjoyed the two of you so much on our tour of England and Scotland. My husband, Jack, was in the R.C.M.P. and spent his whole career in Manitoba. They may have known each other. It is wonderful that Ken was able to serve his congregation until the very end of his time here on earth. He was so lucky to have you beside him and supporting him and loving him. We remember the two of you fondly. God bless you and keep you well. Big hugs, Grace - Posted by: Grace Willis (Friend) on: Dec 28, 2013
