I had the honor of knowing Ken for thirty years. Or more. And of working with him in the 1985 Toronto production, The Pleasure of His Company. Love and kisses sweetheart.

One of the shows I remember Ken was Freddie the Freloader's Christmas Dinner in 1981. Jack Duffy and Mavor Moore two other Canadian acting Greats were also on that show

I had the great pleasure of working with Ken at The Town Theatre in Ottawa in the late 1960s. Although we lost touch in later years, I've never forgotten what a delightful man he was, both onstage and off. The Canadian theatre community and its audiences will miss him sorely.

I remember Ken on many shows on CBC. One show I remember was To Serve and Protect with Gerard Wyn Davis. Another was with Jayne Eastwood when she played a cancer survivor after having an operation and she wanted the lights turned out and the nurse refused. He was a fine actor and portrayed cops and tough roughnecks. He will be missed
