Ken taught me at Chesterfield Tec for 4 years from the age of 17 when I was an apprentice bricklayer 56 years ago. A great lecturer and encourager. We all looked up to him and he leaves behind a great legacy in all the students he taught

Ken saw the best in everyone and in every situation, however difficult. Love to you all who are left to carry the light.

I'm so sorry to read about Ken. I new him as a fellow teacher and had a great relationship with him both at work, and after our mutual retirement.
I send my heartfelt condolences and best wishes to his family - visits to the supermarket will never be the same.
