Rest in peace Ken. We only met briefly but your reputation for all things good , for kindness, decency and integrity will live on forever. I have the honour of seeing this everyday in my friendship and partnership with your wonderful son Grant and his family who I am sure have made you proud. You will be missed by all.

Farewell Ken, my dear lifelong friend. We grew up in Camberwell together, sharing many hours playing cricket and footy in the backyard, sharing church, primary and secondary school experiences. University, family and careers came and evolved in different paths. Then, suddenly, we are old together, planting trees in the Phillip Island sun. Now, incredibly, you are gone, but always remembered. Rest in peace, old friend! p.s Your wicked leg breaks were something special!

We will sorely miss Ken, our wonderful chats stretching over many decades and his sage observations of all things happening locally and nationally were very special. Rest In Peace Ken. David & Heather
