Bev and Wes, March 1, 2021

While it has been many years since I have seen Ken, we had so many amazing and fun times growing up and I looked up to him like a big brother. My fondest memories are his love of life, a great sense of humour and pride as a dad! His infectious laugh and friendly hugs & slugs, which often hurt and bruised, but was worn as a badge of honour brings on a pretty wide grin this day! There were a few free paper cones of fries and of course as all friends share, some cute little lies. I think heaven is a little bit better with his arrival! I hope his close family takes comfort in knowing how much he meant to some of us after all these years. Few make such a lasting impression on our memories.

Ed Marinigh, March 1, 2021
