I first met Ken in the late 60's where we both served our apprenticeships and enjoyed some diving trips and trips to Great Barrier island. I found Ken to be one of the most special people and he could turn his hand to anything. I appreciated his visits and phone calls to us in Paihia in recent years especially since his diagnosis. Rest in peace Ken and condolences to all his family. Bob

Thank you, Ken, for the brief occasions we met after Lyall Babington bought the good yacht Mollie from you. I really enjoyed those times and what a marvellous vessel you built which is currently situated in the Mediterarrian Sea.
