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.

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.
Love you so muchyou are the best Poppa
