Yes, Ken will be sadly missed! We were the best of friends through high school and kept in touch throughout 50 years of his career as the camp acountant in Woss, B.C. and retirement as I moved around in my career in the RCAF, Canadian Airborne Regiment and the Royal Canadian Navy.
Ken was the Best Man at my wedding, a week after my return from my U.N. Peacekeeping in Egypt. As a wedding gift, Ken give my bride and myself a 4-day flight and hotel accommodation for our honeymoon in Las Vegas! We were overwhelmed!
In 2015, Ken, Dianne Taft and I had dinner at Joey's Restaurant in Coquitlam which was probably one of the last times Ken was photographed!
