Kin Village in Tsawassen had become his home in March of this year where unfortunately Ken’s stay was to brief.

Ken was a family man that enjoyed holidays, family dinners, watching the grandchildren play hockey, soccer, baseball, dance, or whatever their current interest was at the time.

He was always there to lend a helping hand; he was a great handyman who took on many tasks over the years. His many talents included painting, sketching, and building many things for his grandchildren.

Ken trained and worked as a machinist his entire career in both Canada and England. He immigrated to Canada as a young man, first landing in Montreal. He later made his way to BC, settling in Vancouver where he met Sheila. He and Sheila married in 1970 and lived in Vancouver till they moved to Cloverdale in the spring of 1989. Ken resided in Cloverdale till December 2021.
