    Although I only knew Ken for the past 18 months we became good friends. Sharing many a story of ‘back home’ in particular the football. He was a true English gent whom I will miss dearly.

    Ken was our custodian at Springvalley Sec. school many years ago. What a lovely, genuine man. I would see him all the time out and about shopping, and he would always stop and have a chat with such kind words. We will sure miss him…. John and Gayle Kelly
