Ken Frederick HONEY

HONEY, Ken Frederick It is with sadness in our hearts that we announce the passing of Ken F. Honey, February 24, 2011, at Evergreen House. Born on March 2, 1924 in Winnipeg, he was the oldest of three boys and was lovingly raised by his mother and grandmother. Ken is predeceased by his long-time companion Joyce Winifred Brown in 2006, and his youngest brother Alfred. He is survived by his brother John Honey of Winnipeg. Ken is lovingly remembered by his long time friend Margie Goodman of North Vancouver and her family. Ken enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces at the age of 17, during WWII, and was part of the 431 Squadron. After discharge, he worked in various jobs in sales and as a broker, but his real passion was photography. Ken was regarded as an exceptional photographer, including having his work published by Playboy; and worked with the best in his field, earning their deep respect and admiration. He maintained a lifelong appreciation of beauty. Ken and Joyce were strong advocates for the rights of animals. In their lifetime they rescued and adopted many needy dogs and cats and this provided them with happiness. A very special thank you to the staff of Evergreen House for their loving care to Ken since March of 2006. Ken thrived during his stay there and was always comfortable. Thanks to Marlene, James and Annie, who provided wonderful companionship and friendship. Ken looked forward to his weekly outings and adventures with them. In Ken's memory, donations can be made to the SPCA, or to a charity of your choice.
