I am so sad to hear of Ken&&single&&s passing. The many memories of good times, good laughs, and good fun go all the way back to pre-high school days and extend through years of fund-raising for Seaforth projects and golfing at the golf course. This morning at the curling club there was Ken&&single&&s picture as a youngster curling at the Seaforth rink. I extend my sympathy to Liz and the boys, Chris and Kevin and to the entire family. Ken was a special member of our community and is missed. I&&single&&ll remember “K.C.” as always smiling, always working, and always a community contributor.
