Dear Dianne,
I remember how you comforted me, many years ago, at a very sad moment–my heart was aching and you gave me hug and said “this too shall pass”. The ache did pass and wonderful memories still live on. I think of you and your kind words so often, and although I can't hug you right now, perhaps these words will help you as much as they did me, “this too shall pass”.

dear Diane & Family, We offer our condolences and our sympathies to you and your family. I worked with Ken in S&I in the late 60's when you folks came to Ottawa. I always held Ken in high esteem. God Bless You. Minnie & Koozma (Joe) Gorkoff, Delta, B.C.

I am so very sorry to hear of Ken's passing. I worked with Ken in the 1980's in 'A' Division. He was an inspiring and principled man who lead by example. Ken made a strong contribution to Canada's national security for which all Canadians owe a debt of gratitude. My deepest condolences to Ken's family.

So sorry for your loss. I worked with Ken for a number of years downtown. He is and will always be a prince of a man. God bless.

My deepest sympathies to the Ross family on the passing of Ken. I enjoyed working with Ken in "A" Division / Ottawa Region in the 70's & 80's. A fine man who served Canada with pride, effect & distinction. He made a difference and he will be missed….
