Dear Joanne, thinking of you at this sad time.
We wish we could have been here today for you, but please know that you and Ken are in our thoughts.
Ken was the kindest and most selfless person. He was very brave until the end, I so enjoyed our catch ups, where we shared so many of our memories from growing up and our trips away. We laughed a lot, thinking of all the mischievous and funny things we got up too over the years.
It has been a pleasure to have known you for the last 60 years and call you a “mate”
Forever in our hearts with all our love
Rob and Wendy

Dear Joanne, Ken was not just a wonderful husband and friend but a beacon of humor, kindness, and adventure. His passion for motorcycles and his talent for restoring vintage bikes will forever be remembered as a testament to his skill and dedication. Ken’s zest for life was infectious, and his laughter could brighten any room. Please know our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
With heartfelt condolences, Bob and Kath
