We are thinking of you all. You have been through a trying time and, while you have lost a husband and a Dad, a grandfather and a friend, you are together in this journey. The way you, Doreen and Ken, have faced up to all the challenges of life and remained steadfast is an inspiration. Now that Ken has passed the memories have not. Your family history and you as a family are together. Even though have lost influential and loved ones, more than once now, you still remain together. May you rest well in each others' care and comfort. God bless you.

To Doreen and your family. So dad to read of Ken's passing. I enjoyed being associated with him through the passenger transport industry.It was an interesting day to say the least when you & Ken came into Totaranui especially when a wasp flew in the open side window and stung me on my inside thigh!!
Yes, he was a gentleman. Will be missed by many. Rest easy now.

Doreen and family. We are so sad to learn of Ken's passing. Nigel enjoyed all the years they worked together and the fun they had. Ken was always a wonderful gentle to me and we had many good laughs together too. Rest easy Ken, you will truly be missed by many who love you.

To Doreen and family, my deepest sympathy to a family I am related to, I only found them a few years ago Ken was my mother's cousin, finding Ken closed a gap in my family tree. Pamela Chapman

My Deepest sympathy to all of Ken´s Family. A true gentleman and I will never forget the time he treated my elderly Father like a King when Ken was bringing him up from the West Coast on the Newmans Coachlines. Forever grateful and may you Ken, Rest in Eternal Peace and his family be comforted by the many memories they have of a decent, well loved person that he was.
