Our beautiful father left this world on November 24, 2023. He had a brief stay at Vernon Jubilee Hospital, but until then, enjoyed a rich and wonderful life at Heaton Place in Armstrong where he was a resident for several years. Ken was born in Comox but grew up in Armstrong. He joined the Air Force in 1950 and enjoyed his career there as a radar technician. He moved his family across Canada, living in several provinces throughout his career. After he retired, he enjoyed a second career with Atmospheric Environment Service. He was fiercely intelligent, had a wicked sense of humour, and a personality that made him a dear friend of so many. He had a wide range of interests including technology, reading, puzzles, games, and sports. He took up tennis at age 68 and played a great game! He was vibrant, independent and so loving. Ken made us all laugh with his vast array of t-shirts with hilarious quotes. He loved his gadgets too. He continued to challenge himself and was a true life-long learner right up until his final days, making all his own decisions. Ken was a fantastic role model for his children, and truly ahead of his time.
