Ken was always a pleasure to be with. Generous and humorous . If you were having dinner with him and wanted to pay you would have to get there an hour before him and bribe the waiter. You will be missed my friend. Godspeed.

I worked on the Kellaway's gardens for well over 20 years in my younger days. The entire family were the kindest, most down to earth people I could have ever asked to work for. Mr. Kellaway was always such a gentleman and a true class act. -Just adored him. My heart goes out to all the family. I know how close and loving you all are. This must be extremely difficult- You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
