My heart goes out to you all Bjorg, Melissa, Monika & Erik. I met Ken nearly 20 years ago at Canada Trust, Douglas St. I am sad to hear that such a remarkable man has left us so young. Although I have been away from the company for nearly 5 years now, I have nothing but the fondest memories of working with Ken at the old Canada Trust 014.
