September 27, 1935 - January 23, 2021

Ken was a wonderfully kind, thoughtful and compassionate man who lived well and left this life on his own terms. Ken had a 37 year career with BC Tel and retired to build cars, boats and houses. He and Myrna travelled by hot rods, cruise ships, boats, planes and trains meeting and enjoying old and new friends on their travels.

Ken leaves his loving wife Myrna, sister Norma, brother-in-law Bob and their children with their respective families. Ken would like to thank some special friends that made the intolerable tolerable, Darleen, Dave & Jeannie, Bob P. And Ed & Sonia.

A special thanks to Dr. Ian MacKenzie for his care and caring. No flowers please, instead donations to the Mount Newton Society at 2158 Mount Newton X Road https://mountnewtoncentre.org/donate/, would be appreciated.

Condolences may be offered to the family below.
