  • Sincere condolences to Lil, Don, Darin and their families at this very sad time. Don and my son Chris went through Elementary and High School together and they were the best of friends. Needless to say, Don spent a lot of time visiting our home in Charleswood and that's how we met Ken and Lil, two very good and caring people. I can't express how sad I feel at the loss of Ken, and he and the family are truly in my thoughts and in my heart. - Posted by: Judy-Lynne Warnock (Friend) on: Jan 14, 2015

  • First, our hearts go out to all the family. You are in our hearts and prayers. It is always difficult writing in a guest book after someone passes away, as it brings forth many memories and emotions. I can't count the times I have laughed because of something Uncle Ken said or did. He always had a glint in his eye and you knew that he was up to something. My favourite memory will always be Uncle Ken and my Dad sitting in the foyer of Uncle Ken and Aunt Lil's duplex. They were having a few "refreshments" and had the screen door slightly ajar waiting to scare off the neighbourhood cat who always tore up their garbage bags on garbage day. That is only one of so many good memories! Uncle Ken you will be missed! - Posted by: David Solesbury (Nephew) on: Jan 14, 2015

  • I am so very sorry that I could not be with you to help you fight this beast that was raging in your body. You know that there was next to nothing that would have kept me from your side at this time. For me that was very difficult! However, my own health was that one thing!! I do believe, however, that you knew I was there in spirit in the messages that I sent regularly to the hospital and I am so very glad that I was able to speak to you on the phone, even if you didn't remember the content, you did remember that I called. For that I am so very grateful! Again, I must apologize for not being able to be at your service in body but rest assured that I will be with you in spirit. I will raise a glass of something (probably wine) at the appointed hour. Ken and I are very happy that Jamie, Heather and Kathryn are able to attend to represent the BC Macs! We will all remember you with loving thoughts and with humour. Miss you love you! Rest in Peace Dear Brother and Uncle!! - Posted by: Marlene MacKenzie (Sister) on: Jan 13, 2015

  • Having met Don's Dad and Mom here in Okotoks at a Mustard house party, it was evident why Don had strong family values that were passed along from loving parents. We have been friends with Don and Jane for only a short while and were aware of this battle. Our condolences to Don, Jane and their families during this time. - Posted by: Dan and Marg Leavens (Freinds) on: Jan 12, 2015

  • We were saddened to hear of Ken's passing. He was such a happy go lucky man. Thank you for the memories on Evenwood and Betsworth. Our condolences go out to you Lill and your boys and their families. - Posted by: Gordon & Marie Kanne (West dale friends) on: Jan 12, 2015

  • Our condolences to you Lil, Marlene and Eileen and all your family members. Lil, I had the pleasure of visiting with Ken last summer when I stopped by your place to pick up my Grandmother Irene Mustard's china which you and Ken transported to Manitoba from Marlene. Thinking of you.....Shelley Heppner Gosseye, Diana Heppner Stephens, Dale Heppner and Ken Heppner. - Posted by: Shelley Heppner Gosseye (Joanne Mustard Heppner's oldest daughter) on: Jan 12, 2015

  • I haven't seen Ken for years but I still remember the fun we used to have with our old cars. I had a 1938 Ford and Ken had I believe a 1937 Chev. I could be wrong about that. Great memories tho. - Posted by: Richard Highfield (Friend) on: Jan 12, 2015

  • Remembering Killarney days and again at Rondex when Ken gave advice on painting needs. Condolences to family on Ken's passing. - Posted by: Don Bartley (Killarney school) on: Jan 12, 2015

  • Proud to have known Ken. My condolences to Lil and family. - Posted by: Vic Rubiletz (Friend and Co-worker) on: Jan 12, 2015

  • Ken and Lil were our neighbours for many years and whenever it snowed Ken would always snow blow our driveway and many others because to him it just never made sense to start up the snowblower for one driveway. We have lots of fond memories of Ken and his family and will miss him. Hugs coming your way. Bonnie and Roy - Posted by: Roy and Bonnie (neighbours ) on: Jan 12, 2015

  • Knowing Don (Ken's son) and his wife Jane for several years now, my husband Jon and I heard many stories about Don's Dad and Mom...They have a close relationship and loved each other very much. We are sorry for their loss and express our condolences to the Whole Mustard Families. - Posted by: Lorraine Uveges (friend of Don (Jane) Mustard) on: Jan 12, 2015

  • Ken, you are among my favourite people in the world. Truly a father figure to me for some 20 years. If I can raise my sons to be 1/2 the man you are, I will be a successful Mom. I am so sorry that you are gone, but happy you are no longer in pain. Lil, Don and Darrin - my thoughts are with you all. - Posted by: Jamie Kline () on: Jan 12, 2015

  • My Uncle Ken....I will miss you so very much. Your boisterous and contagious laugh will forever be impeded in my mind...One word to sum up my Uncle Ken was Fun....Fun Uncle Ken. Uncle Ken was a jokester, a story/joke teller, a prankster and a teaser and I loved every minute of it. In my earlier years I was positive I was his favorite niece but now as a grown woman I know that all of his nieces felt the same way. He just had a way of making us feel so special. When I got married (the first time...tee hee) There was no question that I would be asking My Uncle Ken to give the toast to the bride. Today, I don't remember what he said and that makes me sad...but I do know that it would have been funny and lovable. As I got older there was nothing better than sitting with my Uncle Ken and Aunt Lil and having a cocktail. I have been blessed to have Uncle Ken and his family in my life. The memories I will cherish forever. I love you Uncle Ken. - Posted by: Cheryl Solesbury (Niece) on: Jan 12, 2015

  • Uncle Ken there were so many good times over all the years...we are so thankful to have gotten to spend your 70th birthday with you for a week in Mexico last year! Every time someone close to us must go a piece of seems to go with them...just know you will always be with us all in all we do and will never be forgotten. We Love you! Aunt Lil, Darrin and Don and families, we love you all and pray for you thru this very difficult time also. - Posted by: Greg & Shauna Schamp & Gregory, Kurtis & Ashley (Nephew & family) on: Jan 12, 2015

  • My condolences to you and your family for your loss. Ken always had a smile on his face when he came in for gas at Superstore and a friendly word. He will be missed. - Posted by: Judie Moralee (Aquaintance) on: Jan 12, 2015
