Our condolences on your recent loss of a loved one. We knew Ken for many years and spent pleasurable time with him over coffee at his favourite haunts in our neighbourhood. He always had a smile, a joke, and was a pleasure to be around and chat with. He leaves us with many pleasant memories of moments shared and will be missed but never forgotten.
