• My sincere condolences go out to the Smith family. I had the pleasure to work with Ken at the LC on ellice. I used to listen to his great stories and how proudly talked of his wife and kids.

• Ken was and is a beautiful soul. He was such an easy person to talk to. He will be in our hearts forever, with many beautiful memories, one of which was when he purchased my mother's car for his daughter when she started driving. He is one of God's angels now, and I totally believe he will watch over his beautiful wife and daughters till they met again.

• Les, Brit, Lexi: our sincerest condolences. Words cannot ever take away the hurt nor provide you comfort. Ken/your dad will be with you always. Amanda considered Ken her second daddy as she was growing up and Ken treated her as if she was his own including her in your family time. Corey also has fond memories of Ken. Ken/your dad was an awesome person and always willing to share his love. - Posted by: Wendy & Glen Curtis (friends/former neighbors) on: Jan 02, 2015

• I knew 'Kenny' only as a feisty little boy - regrettably, the result of distance (Prairies-West Coast), the treadmill that life can be, and the fact that my counsins count is 52. Ken's Mom, Helen (who also was taken at a young age), was the youngest sister of my Father, Johnny Lenoski. I see a lot of Ken's Dad, my Uncle Vic, in his photo: zest for the awesome things of life, and for people. My heartfelt condolences to all the Family. God Bless! - Posted by: Gerry Lenoski (Cousin) on: Jan 02, 2015

RIP Ken! - Posted by: Gillian Santa (Co-worker/Friend) on: Jan 02, 2015

• Ken was a truly respected and loved human being. Charismatic, loyal and honest, he Was a great person with a large personality, smile and sense of humour. Ken was not only an amazing father, he was an amazing husband and friend. Ken was around to help my family when we were in such a similar hard times. He was the first person to offer his help at any cost when my dad got sick, he was the first person at the hospital too. Sadly he was also the last. To be honest, a lot of the time he was the only friend who was around though the thick and thin. I've respected and admired that about Ken just as my Dad did and that is a trait I will continue to posses for the entirety of my life. I'm with hopes that Ken knew this and his family should take pride in remembering how important of a person he was not only to them but to people as simple as me. I'll forever respect Ken and the life he lived. He was a genuine person whom I always enjoyed. It's so tragic to see you go big guy. You will be dearly missed - not just by your beautiful wife and daughters... But by the people lucky enough to be able to call you a friend. Say hey to Grant for me. Rest easy friend. Love you Brit, Lex and Leslie. - Posted by: Jordan Brown (and family) (Family friends ) on: Jan 02, 2015

• I had known Ken for almost 12 years now. He was BY FAR one of my favourite store employees in the entire Liquor Commission. Those who didn't know Ken sincerely missed out. I had a typical conversation with Ken on Christmas Eve as per usual and he always treated me with the utmost respect throughout my time dealing with him at whatever store was lucky enough to have him aboard. Ken always gave me the highest courtesy as a liquor rep in all of my years dealing with him. When I caught word of the sad news on the way to a Jets game Monday night, I nearly steered my truck into a curb. I was devastated. Literally devastated. I had no words. I had JUST spoken with Ken only days earlier. I can't believe what a rip off it is to hear that Ken is gone. From the bottom of my heart I will miss him in my weekly life and can only imagine what a hole is left in those who beloved him in their daily life. My thoughts go out to Ken's entire family for this terrible loss. I will hold his memory dear to me forever. Cheers to you Ken...you were the top tier! - Posted by: Darren Ford (Friend / work ) on: Jan 01, 2015

• Leslie, Brit and Lexi.....Ken's angels. Now he is yours. I am so sorry for your profound loss. I wish I could say something that would take your hurt away, even if it's just for a minute. But there are no magical words...just the magic of memories, and you have so many wonderful ones together. Find strength in your love, and the love of family and friends. You're nowhere near as alone as you feel. Deepest condolences to Ken's extended family as well. He was such a lucky man to have been loved by so many. Safe travels Ken. - Posted by: Karen Perez (friend) on: Dec 31, 2014

• I have known Ken for about 15 or more years! First day I meet him at a store long before he became an assistant mgr! I will remember every store he worked at and all the epic conversations. Just plain fun at work, His presence in my life will be sorely missed. I looked forward to seeing him and talking to him every week! We have shared much over the years! His calm, easy going demeanor, his smile and a willingness to always listen and help while working when I came into the store to work with him. An amazing man will be missed by me! He was so much fun to be around, rest dear Ken, until we see one another again in the afterlife. - Posted by: Tracy nosaluk (Friend/ work college ) on: Dec 31, 2014

We recently talked for over an hour on the phone, Ken never failed to tell me he was going to retire in Mexico and sell bananas.
