countries on the planet.
Ken and Susan finally moved to Pender Island full time in 2014. Their
travels, both on land and on boat, continued while Ken developed an interest
in woodworking and fitness. He enjoyed spending time in the company
of good friends and family.
Although he died from leukemia at the relatively young age of 70, Ken

and he made some good friends along the way. After retiring, he had
20 years of “doing whatever I like”, as he put it, and he made the most of
that time.
At the end of his days, in a moment of reflection, he said the main highlight
of his life was being with his family and watching as his sons grew,
were educated and started their adult lives.
Ken is survived by his wife Susan, sons James and Joe, daughter-in-law
Andrea, sister Elaine and extended family members. He is sorely missed.

humble circumstances. She overcame several personal challenges as an
adolescent and persevered to support herself and obtain her education. She
