My condolances to Ken’s family and friends.
Ken was a kind and friendly soul.
I new Ken for many many years from St George, and we had many conversations together.
I have his book ” inspiration is a four letter word” which Ken autographed for me in 1994.
I will read it again soon, and in a new light.
Rest in peace Ken, and memory eternal. Samir

Sad news to hear of Kenny’s passing. I did not see him much over the past few years except at the festival. He was always friendly and charming. I remember him as a young man and he was part of the TH group in social activities. My sympathies to Wanda Kay and Kendra on the passing of their father. I had hoped to come to the visitation but some things got in the way so please accept my sincere thoughts for you. Our TH community mourns his loss.
