Obituaries

My brothers Len, Dennis and I would like to express our deepest condolences to Gayle and family, Lesley and family. We lived next door to Ken on Kildare Ave. when we were all children. We have fond memories of Ken, Lesley, their parents and grandparents. Coincidentally we have similar last names but are not related. Ken's uncle Joe built both our home and Ken's parent's home. I remember Ken had a pet crow named Chloe that would come and sit on our clothesline in the summer. I also remember Ken riding his bicycle a lot with his boy friends often going to Bird's Hill. Blessings,Joan (Homeniuk) Cody, San Francisco

I worked for Ken at Manitoba Health and have the utmost respect for his abilities and personal attributes. He was the best Santa ever at too many MH Children's Christmas parties to count. He always made me smile with his 'fantastic' when asked how he was that morning. You'll be missed.

Gayle. I'm so so sorry you have lost your Ken. We had such fun working together in the old White Paper Working Group and the construction division. He was Santa at Shannon's 3rd Birthday Party. And did a grand job. I know you will miss him terribly. Take care Linda Venus

Our condolences to Gayle and family, Lesley and family and all who share the loss. Ken's time with us holds a treasure of memories filled with love, happiness and fun times. Ken has now passed from time to eternity where he will receive the Lord's blessings in God's house.Thank you Ken for blessing us with your time.

Rest in Peace!Your forgotten daughterKendra Haight (Hominick)

I am so saddened to learn of Ken's passing. He was a kind gentle man with a wonderful sense of humour. In my early days as a government employee, Ken offered guidance and words of wisdom on 'how things worked', but always with a smile. The world is a poorer place. My deepest condolences to his entire family.

We will miss our good neighbour Ken with his cheerful smile and amiable chuckle every time we chatted with him. He always made us laugh with his jokes and amusing observations about many subjects, but especially the neighbourhood squirrels which Ken always kept a watchful eye on, including the one that broke into our gazebo last January and almost gnawed its way into a cooler filled with Tall Grass Prairie bread. As Ken sat eating his lunch at his kitchen window he watched the squirrel hard at work, but eventually the squirrel gave up and Ken told us, with his trademark chuckle, 'He either got tired or he ran out of teeth'. We sure will miss Ken's great sense of humour.
