Ken was born in Winnipeg and grew up in River Heights. He met his wife Bonnie on a blind date and they spent the next 46 years together, the last 40 in Ste. Anne raising their two beautiful daughters. His love for the community included curling, coaching hockey and ringette and serving as Town Councillor. But his passion was always being a firefighter where he served as Fire Chief in Ste. Anne for over 25 years. Ken was a car enthusiast and cherished his 1967 Coronet. His love for the lake began in Matlock and continued over the years to his family cabin in Lac du Bonnet. Ken had a unique laugh and sense of humor. His love of people led him to easily form many friendships.
