February 23, 2024 at 5:01 amTo Dianna and family, so very sorry to hear of Ken’s passing. He was a lovely man and always spoke so proudly of his family. You and Ken worked tirelessly and very well together and you looked after him Dianna, making sure he had everything with him when leaving to attend a special gathering. I remember one time he had a funeral to attend and you said “Ken, I put your tie in your pocket” – one little sentence, but it impressed me. My sincere condolences. God bless….Julie Gill
