Good friend to Don, Tim & Rob.

Ken was an avid fisherman and hunter spending time at his "happy place" - his trailer at Mitchell's Bay with his many friends. You could often find him fishing Lake Erie, Mitchell's Bay and in the past, Moon River, French River & Temagami. He loved to go north to hunt in Armstrong, White River and Magnetewan area. Ken was a lifetime member of the Kent Clover Leaf Club and proud Mason with the Kent Lodge #274 of Blenheim. When he wasn't away on his next trip, he was spending time with his grandchildren. Barb & Ken enjoyed their time traveling whether it be to another country or spending time in the North. As much as he loved his family, friends and activities, he loved his work with the Thompson Family at the Mill in Blenheim where he was a Millwright for 35 years and Head of Maintenance for the Southwest "branches".

Ken has gone to find that next fishing hole and he will send the coordinates when he does. 

The family would like to extend their sincere appreciation to the excellent care that was received throughout his journey, his physician Zeke Milkovic & Shannon Milkovic, the doctors at LRCC, his community care nurse Bobbi, nurses at CKHA (Billy), Dr. Mehdi and the amazing staff at the Chatham-Kent Hospice. Most specifically, we would like to thank Dr. Merotto for the care and compassion that helped us during Ken's last days.
