Ken was a man who loved to work with wood. Although most of his working years were spent in Brandon, Manitoba he plied his trade in four provinces as a contractor, teacher, apprenticeship counsellor and building inspector. Ken worked hard for all of his achievements and yet he never failed to enjoy life in the moment. He had a large laugh and a larger heart. His home was open to anyone who needed a place to stay. Ken was an easy-going, compassionate and thoughtful man. People were proud to call him a friend as evidenced by the outpouring of support and love he received during his battle with cancer.
