Keith and I went back to school in '72 in Brandon. Was playing hockey in van and came back to Carberry '71- '72, played in new arena and worked with my father's business. Met Ken and family on a visit to see Keith and Pat in Carberry and I used to visit Ken and Irene at their home in Wpg. while I was in Red River Electrical school. A lot of fun times. I met Debbie and sure sorry to hear of all passing. So sad good people. Will all be loved and missed, please call me Debbie would love to hear from you sometime.

So sorry for your loss Deb and Sam . Uncle Ken was a great man who was loved and admired by many . The only thing, I really remember that was drummed into our heads by Mom and Dad was if you are lost or get in trouble in Winnipeg you go to 110 Penfold and Uncle Ken will take care of you and he and your Mom always did. Take care god bless, from my daughter Jean son Grayson and granddaughters India Rose and Cheveyo Patricia your cousin Mark Porter - Posted by: mark porter (nephew) on: Dec 15, 2015
