Aunt Suzanne,

I am sorry for your family's loss. Uncle Ken was so very proud of everyone: children, grandchildren, and you. It was about the only thing he talked about, when here, except for a hockey story or two.

He was always an inspiration to me, like my Dad. I could never say "THANK YOU" enough to Ken for helping Dad.

Deepest Sympathy,
Lance and Family

Aunt Sue, Cathy, Don, Kenny & Tony,
Please accept our sincere sympathy to you all during this very tough time.
It gives us comfort to know that Uncle Ken and Mom are together again, hopefully having a few good laughs! Mom was always so proud of Ken, and prouder still to be his little sister. She talked often about sending her brother birthday telegrams c/o 'the penalty box'.
Although we didn't see Ken often, we remember him fondly as such a gentleman, with many accomplishments in life. May you find peace in knowing that he is in a better place. Rest in Peace Uncle Ken.

To Suzanne and family

We of the Paddy Clark extended family were saddened to learn of Ken’s passing on Saturday.

We know how much Paddy used to enjoy chatting with Ken when he came to the stable to watch Suzanne and Cathy ride.

How memorable were those Atlantic salmon that Ken brought home for Paddy annually. Paddy certainly appreciated Ken’s thoughtfulness.

It was nice to see Ken at the Clark's Stable reunion in August 2003 and to have him say a few words about the "old days" at the stable.

What a humble man Ken was. We only realize that after reading about his war heroism and all of his NHL All-Star awards in the past few days.

We know that you are very proud of his life's achievements.

Sue, we all are truly saddened to hear of Ken's passing. With smiles, we reflect on the many many happy times together, in Hampstead and at the Forum, with "Mac" Joe MacDonald and Joe Torch.

My sincere sympathies to the Reardon Family on your loss.

I met Ken when he was the Executive Director of the Atlantic Salmon Association and I was an Honorary Director.

We served together in later years as Directors of the ASF and on the Montreal Dinner Committee of the Atlantic Salmon Federation where Ken was a tireless and dedicated committee member.

Ken was a true friend of the Atlantic Salmon and will be missed by all his angling friends and by those in the Montreal Canadiens Family also.
