Tributes

  1. Ray, myself and my boys were luckily enough to meet uncle Ken through the Aboriginal Aunty Jeans group in Ulladulla and we have had many laughs and some tears in that time sharing stories and yarns, with more laughs and fun times every Tuesday as a group together.

    We even all even went to an art group together where uncle Ken was able to put his artistic work on paper.

    It has been a pleasure to call uncle Ken and his family friends and although he is not here in person, he is still in our thoughts, prayers and memories.
    Uncle ken was such a beautiful kind gentleman and he will be missed by us all on a Tuesday.

  3. Thank you so much. Dad loved his Tuesday mornings more then any other time of the week.

  4. Ken contributed so much to the Ulladulla community, to those struggling on this journey we call life. He was always caring and fully present with anyone he encountered. He will be so missed. Your time to fly now. Rest easy dear Bone x

  5. Ken was my boss, our Industrial Relations Officer at the MSB. He was an awesome boss and an extremely kind, gentle, thoughtful and funny man. He worked in such a tumultuous, emotionally charged environment at times, yet as frustrating as his job was, he was always calm, collected, considered,.. choosing his words carefully and knowing just what to say and when to say it. He was a master… (although he always looked just a bit tired when he left for the day!). He was incredibly smart, thoughtful & metered when he responded to difficult situations, and had a gentle, empathetic and considerate way of treating colleagues, always taking the time to ask the little things about home and family that you’d never have thought he remembered,.. but he did. I seriously don’t remember an angry word passing between us in all the years i worked with him, and it has been so great to continue to be in touch with him over these last few years via snail mail, and a blessing to get to know about more about the ‘person’ he was, rather than just the wonderful ‘boss’ he was in my younger years. I was so shocked and sad to hear he has left us,.. I still recall hearing ‘Where’s Bone!?? echoing down the coridoor (it was meant in the most respectful manner) and he’d shake his head and wander off,… but he was always ‘Ken’ to me. He was kind, and ‘read’ people so well, just as a good Human Relations Manager should,.. he was a gem, and our world is a little poorer for his loss. Rest In Peace gentle man, one who I was lucky to know,.. sending hugs to Lorraine and all the family,…. Karen Lynne (singer and letter writer)

  6. Thank you Karen for those kind words about Ken. I can visualise in my mind what you have written about your time with him. I know he was well respected and loved by his work colleagues/friends.

  7. Thank you Diana I really love reading the comments from people who worked with Ken and knowing that his goodness shone through wherever he went and that he helped so many people.

  8. Sending so much love to you it was such a beautiful service .. he lived a good, honest life and most if all he loved and was loved so well xoxo
