Condolences to all Family and friends. Shocked to hear of Kens passing as I had just made contact with him after many years. Remember first meeting Ken when he started his apprenticeship at Hichcock & Lawson Timaru and progressed later on as Manager of Wallace & Coopers Timaru. RIP Ken. You will be sadly missed.

Please accept my sincere condolences at this time from a long time Timaru friend of Ken and his family who were always up for a good conversation about just about everything

Absolutely devastated Ken, so shocked to hear of your passing. Sending my heartfelt condolences to Kj, Emma and Nicole. I am blessed to have known you Ken, may you rest in peace, now back with Angela, I know you missed her. Rest well my friends, love always Debs

It was lovely to know you Ken. I'll miss you. Rest in peace.

I can't express how sad I am just now. I'm going to miss our long phone conversations while out collecting milk but I'm so very grateful that we had them. Rest in peace Ken.

I was shocked and much saddened to learn of Ken's death. Much love to all the family.

Ken was larger than life in his prime and always had a good story to tell. Sadly, we lost touch over recent years and this has come as a shock to me. I shall always remember his Ford Capri and the MK II Jag too.
