Dear Jacqie,
I was just searching my surname on the Internet when I came across Ken's notice of death. You may not know of us, but I am Ken's cousin in Australia. Ken's father, Bill was my fathers (Jim) brother who was married to Norah. When I saw Ken's brother Ron was mentioned in the notice , that's what assured me it was cousin Ken that had passed away. Please ask Ron to contact us by email address [email protected]. Tony Swaisland

Dear Jacquie and kids, I was just told about the tragic passing of Ken and I was very saddened to hear the news. He was such a gregarious, bright, generous and lovely spirit. He was truly unique and we enjoyed his company immensely. He was a doer and a giver and the world will miss him and his wonderful spark. Our thoughts are with all of you and we are so sorry for your tremendous loss.
Love Paula, Matt, Simone and Max

Dear Jacquie, Savannah, Cameron and Sierra;

I am very sorry to hear about Ken's passing, it's a real shock and it leaves me very sad. I enjoyed both my friendship and my dealings business wise with Ken. He was a rare man of integrity and brilliance whom I had great respect for. I wish I would've had more time to know him better as a friend.

He gave me his biography a year or so ago of which I have read about half now, it always leaves me with a chuckle and inspires me to do better.
Please let me know if there's anything I can help you with.

Let's keep in touch.
Michael
