Jason, Jeff, Julie and family. Words can not express the sorrow of your loss. Ken was truly a great man with the best smile in town. Our family had the honour of spending many hours with Ken during our scouting days. Without the dedication of community Ken & Marg had, Hensall would not have had the best scout movement for so many years.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you 🕊

What can we say, Ken was a spectacular man, Bill and I will miss our weekly chats and Ella our cockapoo will definitely miss her Ken. It will feel odd not waving at your window each time we walked by and seeing you wave back or running to the window for a chat. Queen street will never be the same
