Friends for many years and attended Cory wedding and spent time at their trailer at Lee River. Please call me to chat more about Ken and where his gravestone will be as we often visit gravesite of Delores. Thanks. RIP Delores and Ken.

My condolences and prayers for all who loved Kenny. Kenny and I were friends during our engineering studies in the late 70's and early 80's. I have often fondly remembered being silly with he, Dave, Tony and John during those years. The last time I saw him was in the early 90's during a few years when I returned to live in Winnipeg- but it seems like yesterday. Love and blessings dear Kenny, Mark+ Rest eternal grant unto Kenny, O LORD, and let light perpetual shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen. - Posted by: Rev. Dr. D.
