My sincerest sympathies to Fran and family. Ken worked with my father at Esso and I met him as a child in Calgary partaking in Esso events. He would never let me forget about tipping our boat one time and spilling him into the water. He was such a wonderful person and I feel blessed having known him.

Our sincerest condolences to your family. We still find it hard to believe. We've known Ken for over 40 years both at work and in retirement. He was truly a great friend. Our lives were blessed by having him in our lives. His dancing swept me off my feet.

Our family wishes to extend our sympathy to the entire Krawchuk family. They were our neighbours for many years in Belvedere. Until a few years ago before moving Kens Mom, we would always see him taking care of her yard, taking her shopping and he always had the time to say hello to all the neighbours.

So sorry to hear of Ken's passing. Condolences to all of Ken's family on the loss of a very fine man. I met Ken at the Strathcona Refinery in the mid- 90's when I was succonded to Esso to assist with various activities. Ken made me welcome from day one and over the next 10 years . I was impressed with his competence and friendly manner. I always thought that he was a prince of a man !

My sincere condolences to Ken's family. I worked with Ken at Esso for many years and we also played hockey together in quite a few small towns and tournaments in Alberta. He was the guy who handled all the logistics and made things happen. But more than that he was the person who worked tirelessly to do all the small things that we all take for granted, and did this quietly behind the scenes.
The meaning behind the song “the wind beneath my wings” by Bette Midler is how I think of Ken. Everyone touches a person's life as they go through theirs and by knowing and observing the way Ken lived his life, made us all better.

I worked with Ken at ESSO - had many long talks and lots of laughs. Fond memories when Dawn used tutor our son Tommy in math ... lots of laughs over that. You will be missed by many Ken. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ken's family and we are sorry we cannot attend the service.
