Shocked and saddened to hear of Ken's passing. A wonderful person, a great co-worker and a kind neighbour. Ken and I rode the bus to/from 125 Sussex for several years and I frequently think of those times.
Sincere condolences to Ken's family.

I was so sorry to hear of Ken's passing. I was in Kuala Lumpur at the same time that Ken was in Singapore. Ken was kind enough to offer to put myself and my family (wife, 3 and 1 year old children) up while we were visiting Singapore. I guess I shouldn't have given the kids chocolate since Ken's apartment had lovely white carpets. Ken was very special. We remember him very fondly. Our thoughts are with you.

So sorry to hear about Ken dying. He certainly had a full life. I remember the great times we had with you Jo, Jane and Susie in England, and with Ken and Bill here in Vancouver. It seems like a lifetime ago. I will remember Ken with fond memories.

My deepest sympathy to Jo and to the rest of Ken's family.
When I joined the Capital City Chorus in 1994, Ken was very welcoming and helpful to me and he was a very positive presence in the chorus. I will always remember Ken's accuracy in singing the bass line and he was always a total gentleman to everyone.
