Born May 9, 1933 in Toronto, Ontario. It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of my beloved husband on December 21, 2018. He is survived by his wife Gladys, of Kelowna; his former wife, Dorothy and their three daughters Karen, Donna, Janet; sons-in-law Terry, Dave,Louie; seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren in Ontario; his extended family here, my sons, Kevin, Mark, Paul; daughter-in-law Joanne; granddaughter Kristene along with his great grandson Isaac with whom he spent many happy days camping, fishing and just hanging out together talking.
For over 50 years he was Santa to hundreds of children including his own girls and grandchildren, at daycare centres and even for the RCMP Christmas party in Kelowna. Ken was a long-time volunteer with Community Policing, served on the Board of Directors for the Kelowna Safety Council, served three years with Airport Watch and was owner of Kelowna Movers Ltd. for 31 years. Ken passed away at home very quickly and peacefully after a year-long illness, looking at all the Christmas lights in our home, as this was his favourite time of the year. His Celebration of Life will be held on January 26, 2019 at Mission Creek Alliance Church, 2091 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC at 3:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Kelowna SPCA.
