    A fond memory I have of Kenny was in the lounge at the Willow and when I asked him if I could buy him a drink; he said no but your waitress is a single Mom, so leave her enough to buy some new booties for her baby.

    Thank you for that life lesson Kenny. I have learnt alot from you, and value many things you have said over the years,that has helped me to be successful in my business. You are a friend not to be forgotten. God bless your family.

    Joan and Family …

    Living in Quebec, I just got the sad news re Ken. I used to play softball vs. him in Kitimat. I had some reunions with Ken in Kelowna … the last one where he took Carolyn and I for drinks at the Inn and at other places. A great host with great stories. When our kids were young we always stayed at the Willow Inn at $48/night for years. He loved his family, Mexico, and so many friends.
    I’ll remember him well and please accept our real sympathies.

  • Sharon Hadath says:

    Joan & family, So sorry to hear about Ken’s passing. I met Ken when he was a member of the Board of H.I.R. He was truly “one of the good guys” and he will be missed. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

  • Don Weber says:

    Dear Joan and family. This is Don from West Vancouver. I first met Ken around 1965 when I was property manager for H.A.Roberts Realty in Vancouver. Ken was manager of the Fraser Lake Hotel at a strip mall that I became responsible for. Ken was also involved in acting as our eyes and ears regarding the mall that I knew nothing about nor was I familiar with the social economic environment of Fraser Lake and the challenges that went with that region. He was also kind of a sheriff, maintaining law and order at the site and he actually had a holding cell in the Hotel’s basement. Ken was unbelievably helpful to me and probably one of the nicest persons I have ever met, just a super guy.
    Little did I know at the time that Ken and my brother-in-law, Dal Perran were like brothers growing up in Howe Sound.
    His passing is truly a big loss and I hope that the great memories we all have from our association with Ken will give you comfort at this time. My sincere condolences.
    Don Weber
