Kenneth KELLS Obituary

We were incredibly saddened to hear of Ken's passing. Due to our involvement in both Hopetoun Delta and The Saints, we witnessed firsthand the exceptional commitment and genuine care Ken had for looking after both properties, and the people who lived there. Ken was always smiling, and often shared words of great wisdom. Diana and family, our thoughts are with you all during this difficult time.

Our sincere condolences to all of Ken's extended family. We know this wonderful man has brought you much happiness and great memories. Our thoughts are with you especially Dianne, understanding how you will miss Ken's presence. Maureen & Terry Hudson

So easy to talk to, I could tell you anything, no judgment.
You liked my jokes nobody else got or laughed at, our private jokes too.
I loved helping you do your property stuff, then getting coffee n pastry/cake at Il Forno after.
You always stopped on your walks around city, gave spare change, a smile, listened to people, so many people knew you.
