He did love his family very much, our condolences from John. Shelley, Cody and Stephanie, Dylan Saunders.
I will miss him. He was kind and a great sense of humor. We spent many great times as kids and growing up. I was proud to have called him my Uncle.
So sorry to hear of Ken’s passing, he was the best neighbour especially to our boys when they were young.
