Some of my most memorable moments with Uncle Fred range from WWII stories to him convincing me that he saw Santa's sleigh fly by the window on Christmas Eve. He will be missed.

I am so very sorry to learn of Ken's passing. He was a very sweet and caring man. I have fond memories of him from when I worked at the Kingston Police Department as Don's secretary(1999-2003). Whenever he came to visit Don he always came in early and we would sit and chat about current events, etc. He taught me alot about Kingston's history. I think of him often and will remember him in my prayers. With my most heartfelt sympathies,

We will miss his smiling face this August.
