It has been my honour to work with Ken over many many years on road and construction projects in the Regina area. We have lost a great working collegue in the road construction business and a really great guy....

You can be rest assured right now that Ken's "Road" to heaven will be a very smooth ride for him in his quest in finding the ultimate round of golf.

Wendy,Sean,Pam and Sue,
My heartfelt condolences to his wife, son and sisters. Losing someone you love is one of life's hardest trials, even harder when you don't expect it. Having spent most of his life in Lumsden, I am sure the entire community knew him. One could say that Ken was the 'idea man' behind the now infamous Lumsden Duck Derby, which has been running for over 25 years. A very successful fund raising event for the community. Many good times had by many at the Derby, thanks Ken!!
