Dear Lorraine, Heather and family,My deepest sympathies are extended to you as you experience this loss. Ken was such a jovial guy and great friend to my parents. I still have many memories as a child of him cracking jokes... Some of which I had to close my ears for :) He was also in great spirits and always had a smile on his face. My those wonderful memories and the peace of Jesus which transcends all understanding comfort you at this time. Sincerely,Brenda and familyZambia, Africa
