We will truly miss our good friend Ken. He was so looking forward to spending his first summer as a retiree at his Warner Bay home and we were certainly looking forward to sharing more than a few campfires, afternoons on the shore and lively dinner conversations with Ken. His absence will surely be felt by all his Tobermory friends.
