March 14, 1945 – April 14, 2018
Ken was born 1945 in London, Ontario. He owned and operated one of the first go kart tracks in Canada at Ipperwash beach Ontario. This source of summer income allowed him to pay for his education, graduating from the University of Western Ontario in 1971. Ken taught elementary school for a few years in London before meeting Connie in Acadia National Park, Maine. They were married 1972 in Kamloops B.C. Ken worked many years with the Ministry of Children and Family Development primarily as a social worker retiring in 2002.
Ken enjoyed many sports, running, alpine skiing, water skiing, tennis, badminton, and golf. He especially enjoyed working with his son Paul around the house and visiting with daughter Amy and her family (Gord, Keiann & Blake Nowicki). In retirement many winters were spent under the sun in Yuma Arizona and summers at Kamloops Golf and Country Club.
No service has been requested. In Ken’s remembrance please engage in an act of kindness to family, friends or strangers.
