I only met him once in my life and that was at family reunion in Medicine Hat. He looked just like my father sitting there when I walked in. My father was his brother Gordon. Was sorry to come across this as we didn't know of his passing. Never easy to lose a loved one but memories last forever. Thinking of you all. Margaret (Holmes) Robinson

Dear Audrey and Families, We loved chatting with Ken at our Holmes Family Reunions. His work on family-histories-geneology-records was very precious to us and others in the family. Cherished memories live on as we do the work to pass on these records to our posterity. Ken surely did his part, and we will love him and remember him forever, because of that and who he was. Love and prayers, always and forever.

So sorry to hear of Ed's passing. He was instrumental in helping us become the first CAP site in the now, Whitewater Region. Ed worked with me to establish a well equipped library for our patrons to be able to access the internet. He was so helpful and such a pleasant man. I have thought of him often.

So sorry to hear of Ed's passing. He was a wonderful man that I had the pleasure of working with on the executive of the Renfrew Computer Club. He was always ready to help and share his knowledge with us. God Bless you Ed.
