Dear Delcia, it is with sadness that I heard of Ken's death. I have great memories of working with Ken on a number of Rotary projects. I remember him as being very well organised and meticulous but always with a touch of humour. He was a loyal member and strong supporter of our Club. My sincere condolences to you and the family in this time of loss. With my best wishes David Hansen

Dear Delcia This came as a bit of shock as Ken had a great zest for life and a timeless manner about him. We enjoyed our association with both you and Ken via Rotary, we regrettably lost touch. but hold wonderful memories of you both. Ken had a great sense of humour and a fantastic mind so was a valuable part of any brainstorming session. It was fantastic working with ken we will miss him.
