I remember the first time meeting Ken, he came to see his wife Lois. I thought how sweet he must really love her and boy he did. That man showed up every day he could and by that I mean only when he was sick. Then I got to know him on personal level, such a kind caring man. I can see why so many years ago Lois fell for him. He shared so many loving stories of his family. I’m so glad and proud to have been part of his journey 💓

Ken was a faithful man to his wife Lois. Coming to the nursing home daily for visits. Deepest sympathies to all the families and friends. He use to tell us the stories of the fish camp at John Graces lodge. May Ken RIP
