Neighbours for years but friends for life goodbye dear friend
My first day at 34 SQN there was a bbq at the duty crew hut, I arrived in the rain and outside in the rain was Ken, Peter Hill and Wally Taylor all 3 we’re hammered and peter put on a piece of meat to cook flipped it over and then put it on a water soaked bun and gave it to Ken…. Who said geeze Pete you a bloody good cook 😳. I thought OMG what have I gotten myself into… well it turned out great, I’ve made a new family and Ken will never be forgotten as a true gentleman and friend.
Pa… it was easy to call you this as friendship with you the same. Open, affable, welcoming.. your qualities clearly shine bright as staples in your entire family. Thank you for for being a contribution to my life. Aunty Vern

I have many fond memories of a terrific uncle and role model while I was growing up. Farewell Ken. You will be missed. Our thoughts are with you Aunt Jan and family.
While I only knew Ken during our time in 3Sqn both at Williamtown and subsequently Butterworth .
I came to know him pretty well and can only ever describe him as ‘One of Nature’s True Gentleman’

Dear Jan, Lynne, Vickie and families, we are so saddened to hear of Ken’s passing. As many have said already, Ken was a true gentleman and we are privileged to have known him. We are so sorry for your loss and our thoughts are with you all at this difficult time.
Much love to Jan and families on the sad notice that Ken had passed. Thinking of you all.
Ken was our neighbour when my kids were little and he always had time for them, and welcomed them into the house while they clamboured on everything and made a racket. Always a smile on his face, and a kind heart. We will miss you Ken. Love Lee, Ethan and Audrey
