I'm sorry to hear that Ken passed away. We had a lot of laughs working away together up in Cheviot and Blenheim while working for McEwans. Spent quite a few of those weekends away visiting old tractor museums with Ken too, as we both had a strong interest in old equipment. I'm glad he had the opportunity to live and work in the USA and keep doing what he loved to do right up until the end. Rest in peace old mate.
