He loved newspapers, cashew nuts, Laura Secord Easter Eggs, Purdy's chocolates, and ice cream. Ken grinned every time he laid eyes on his wife, Nancy. For 52 years, they set the standard for love and teamwork. He admired her terrific figure as she bustled about, doing too many things, and occasionally told her, "you should slow down a bit". Every day they said good night with three kisses and an "I love you". We, kids often caught him patting her bum. That's a successful marriage!
Ken owned Apache Abrasives, and kept everything sharp, especially his wits. He also worked alongside his wife for Valley Livestock Supply. He sat on the Board of Directors for the Canadian Cooperative Woolgrowers. He was a member of the BCPSBA & the LMSPA. He was an active supporter of 4H Clubs. He volunteered with Sharon United Church Board; AND found some spare time for hobbies.

Sadly he was predeceased by his son, Jonathan, in 2006.
