I went to both Davin (now and Central) with Ken. He was a friendly, kind fellow who always had time to stop and talk. One of his impressive achievements was organizing a school reunion, back in the late 80s. Always kind, as we grew up together and lived fairly close to each other, Ken got me involved in his Star Weekly delivery route in the mid 60s from which I learned many positive life lessons which helped me in later years as an adult. That big smile of his always made my day. Ken will be missed.

I will miss Ken. I met him when I joined the Geological Survey in 1990. Ken was one of the draftsmen responsible for helping us make maps. Within a couple years he and the other draftsmen were faced with making the transition from pen and ink maps for which they’d been trained to the new world of digital mapmaking. Ken was eager to learn the new skills and was quickly pushing back the frontiers. He came to me just before one conference and asked if I’d like to have my map coloured as a first for the Survey and a learning experience for him. I quickly agreed and his product was the envy of my colleagues. Years later after he’d left the Survey he sought me out to supply information about the rocks he’d been tumbling for his new lapidary hobby. The timing wasn’t always ideal for these sessions but Ken was so enthusiastic, I couldn’t say no. It was important to him to do the best job he could with the jewellery making but he also wanted to add some information to make his gift jewellery as meaningful as he could. That was the kind of thoughtful guy he was and he was certainly excited to give his gifts. They will be especially precious now. Ken will be missed. My deep condolences go out to his family and friends.

To Deb and family we send our condolences as we were saddened to hear the news of Ken's passing. We made our acquaintance with Ken through volunteering with the Parade committee. We recall many memories of Ken with his camera taking pictures on Parade Day. May the memories of Ken bring you comfort at this time.

As you pass through the years there are precious companion travelers that touch your life and remain with you in so many different ways. Then along comes an extraordinarily unique and special one that indelibly marks you with their God given gifts of - self giving, glowing spirit, kindness, joy, enthusiasm, caring, love of life, an eye & place in their heart for pure beauty, and amazing talents that touch the essence of your own soul. Ken was one of those – Ken IS one of those – he will remain with my wife and I, in our hearts, & the way in which we carry on in our earthly journeys with others. To you Deborah, Sheldon, Tammy and families we offer our heartfelt sympathy and thanks for sharing Ken with all of us. He made a real difference to so many – indeed he left his mark and a trail to follow. Love - Gord & Bev Domm.

Our whole family has such great memories of Ken at Westminster and in our Cathedral area community. Kind, friendly and funny, Ken so willingly shared his time and talents and truly made a difference in the many lives he touched. Sending you all much love from Glen, Sheila, Sarah, Katie, Isla and Fiona.

I always appreciated Ken’s generous volunteer work in support of the Regina Photo Club. He will be missed.

We were deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Ken. Please accept our heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. Ken was a remarkable person whose presence touched the lives of many. Through his kindness, wisdom, or quiet strength, he left a lasting impression that will not be forgotten. We hope you find comfort in the memories you shared and in the love that surrounds you now. From his friends at Affinity CU South Albert

Our deepest condolences and sympathies to Deb & Sheldon & Tammy and Stephanie. We will always fondly remember the Cathedral Area Community Potlucks, and Ken’s wonderful photos in the CACA Newsletter! He was a one-of-a-kind gem of a person!

My deepest sympathies to Deb and Stephanie and to all who loved Ken - and there were many! He had many unsung talents which he generously shared. I am deeply grateful for his gift of photographs from my ordination - as are my colleagues whom he also photographed. He was a man of deep faith, lived out in his generosity, kindness, and unbounded curiosity. He truly understood that each of us has a story, and that it is a blessing to listen to people. The world is a better place for his having lived, and poorer for his passing. May God welcome him with open arms and may you feel his loving presence until you are reunited in Glory

Graham Bradley and I send our deepest sympathy to Ken's family & other friends. For years, Ken & Graham would have breakfast together either at Fusion or the Serb Club, then take Henry (our Corgi) for a walk. Henry loved Ken. Ken & Deb also joined Graham's Thursday night Open House regularly. One of the best evenings was the night my brother Bruce (who is a geologist) was there. Ken & Bruce knew a lot of people in common; many amusing stories were told. Later, Graham commented that was one of the most interesting of his gatherings! May his family find peace in the many stories & happy remembrances of Ken.
