My sincere condolences to Ken’s family. I started working with Ken in 1988 in Lloydminster, Alta. He worked the ramp and I flew the Beech99 scheduled service from Calgary. He was such a bright, friendly and extremely competent fellow employee that I instantly respected. Our paths crossed in Naniamo and on into Kamloops. I was always reminded of his “smiley” and frienly demeanour as I saw him briefly on turns. A familiar face from 28 years ago. I will miss him. We basically started in the same industry along time ago mostly because we both loved airplanes. He will be missed. I always thought he was one damned fine person that stood out above the rest! I am truely saddened by his passing and wish his family well. We are ALL better people to have known Ken. Mike Cornelius
I wish Ken’s family, fiancee and friends the strength to deal with his passing. He was a good man and will be missed.
Ken worked at our airport here at CNRL Kirby South. I never had much chance to chat with him but he was always pleasant and kind. Always offering a smile and a hello when we met in the cafeteria, or a passing joke in the hallway.
Sending condolences to his entire family from the CNRL family here at Kirby south!
My condolences to friends and family of Ken. My wife and I worked with Ken at Kamloops Airport. I knew him through many of his work changes and life experiences. He was an exceptional person and my wife and I are deeply saddened by his passing. He had all the things a good man has. Our deepest sympathies.
Sending my deepest condolences to Ken’s fiancé and family. He was a great guy. So kind. Sure loved his family and spoke of them often. Sending all of you strength through this difficult time. Lindsay Cameron
