Ken had a fulfilling career providing 33 years of dedicated Canadian Armed Forces service. He spent the final years of his military career in Europe retiring as a Master Warrant Officer, CD.
Ken lived his life to the fullest with simple pleasures. He was a devoted husband to his wife Zita. He enjoyed spending time preparing delicious meals and homemade wine. He loved to walk, listen to beautiful German music and work in his workshop and exquisite garden to make his home a palace for all to enjoy. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends.
