Dear Debbie, Chris, Liz and Hunter, our family thinks of you as you mourn one of the greatest, kindest human I have ever met. Ninong Ken had a way of making everyone feel important, heard and loved. We will be missing him so much.

Dear Deborah and family, so sad to hear the news, Ken was a lovely man and will be missed by many, I have great memories of our time together 💔

Today I became aware of Ken’s passing.

I am so sorry for the loss to his family and friends.

I met Ken while working for the city of Regina, as Pest Control Officer.

He was a great individual and his humour was always one which raised smiles and laughter.

I will miss Ken and will always remember his knowledge of botany, his trips around the world and his friendship.

The time I spent watching his television show and learning so much from him was wonderful. He was charming, caring and knowledgeable.

Our condolences to Debbie and to Ken’s family. A friend for over 40 years he always made us laugh at his gentle and ironic way of observing the world. The grace and beauty he brought to us through his love of horticulture was a gift that all of us got to enjoy. We still remember with awe the amazing poinsettia world that he created from the City of Regina greenhouses for the annual Christmas display, which also was the site that he fashioned for our unforgettable wedding. You will always be in our thoughts. Chris & Joan

I know how hard his loss will be. May wonderful memories help you all through this. Janet Lammie shared the news with me and I know she sends her condolences as well.

There are no words to express how grateful we are to have known Ken & his love. He fought a strong battle against his foe Cancer with dignity & humour. He kept us strong. We will miss our dinners & special celebrations but in our hearts he is forever with us. There is only ONE Ken. Heaven has a special angel. Remembering always the knowledge he gave us on how to appreciate nature thru gardening. Peace to Ken 🙏🏻💞
