With my deepest sympathy.
May every cherished memory of Ken bring you lasting comfort in the days ahead.
Marilyn, my condolences to you and your family.
Marilyn, my thoughts are with you and your family as you deal with Ken’s passing. He was a lovely man. I hope to be able to be part of the collective Tillicum hug on July 4th. Much love going your way.
Marilyn and family – so sorry to hear of Ken’s passing. My condolences to you. I’ll always remember our paddling times and going for coffee or lunch afterwards. Good times with good people – happy memories to draw upon.
Marilyn, Georgina and all your family we are so sorry for your loss in the passing of Ken Bruce & Jeannie
I can see a HAM AND EGGS BREAKFAST MEETING on the ‘distant horizon’ coming soon. My Dad would be in attendance with all the rest of the ham radio folk in that far away place.
Our condolences to you and your family, Marilyn. It was a surprise reading Ken‘s obituary in this morning‘s newspaper. We looked for you both at VE7DDD, Bob Macintosh’s service. Bob’s daughter explained you had both been in hospital with Covid. I hope you are staying healthy. I drive past your house occasionally because our daughter’s family lives only a block away.
Robert Jewsbury, VE7BSJ
My sincerest condolences for your loss. Ken was a regular member of VCKC for many years and is fondly remembered.
Marilyn & family, my condolences. I enjoyed working with Ken at the Forest Service when I was the new one. Those were the boom years and enjoyed travelling with him on trips around the province installing new repeater sites.
Marilyn and family, my condolences to you all on Kens passing. I remember hearing stories of Kens interests while working at Tillicum Elem. Hold his memory close to your hearts.
