We were so very sad to hear about the passing of Ken. We got to know Ken sharing many dance classes with both Ken and Sue. He was such a great man who always made us laugh. He will be missed. Our sincere condolences to you Sue and to your family. Lucy and Mano Pagliaro

I was saddened to hear of Ken's passing - too soon. His humour and common sense outlook on life made him a joy to work with. I still have the t-shirt he gave me coming back from a fishing trip. I hope he finds lots of worms and fishes up there. My thoughts are with you Sue. I am sure you'll miss him a lot.

Sue: I was shocked to hear about Ken's passing. I fondly recall the years we spent together at Customs discussing funding for various customs facilities. He was a true professional. However my fondest memories are the years he and I spent putting together the Customs hockey team and running the summer hockey. He was a great guy and will be sorely missed

Sorry to hear of your loss. As a former workmate, I can only sense the feelings of those who knew and worked with Ken. A serious guy about his work but very funny as well. He will be missed.

Sue, I am beyond sad at the news of your loss. I am away now and wish I could be there. Ken will always be remembered as my favorite " customer from hell" ( as he used to call himself right?), a willing and helpful friend who loved to tease and make us laugh.
