We send our sincere condolences to Madeline, Deanna, Cindy and the whole family for the loss of Ken. Please accept our apologies as we are unable to attend the service due to Don’s ill health and vulnerability. We have wonderful memories of our early lives as cousins when we spent so much time together, even up until we had families of our own and beyond that as well. Our love goes out to you all, know we are thinking of you all in this sad time.
Thinking of you Aunty Mal, Deanna & Cindy and sending my love for Wednesday. I'll be remembering Uncle Ken and so many good times spent with you all. Thanks for all the fantastic childhood memories spent at yours♡
Dear Mal and family, Ken was a wonderful big brother. I shall miss our phone calls, his teasing, his wonderful sense of humor, his concern for family, his curiosity, but most of all him ending our conversations with me saying, “I love you…and him responding, “I love you too mate.” Praying for Mal and family. You are in my heart and in my prayers. I love you all.
Your powerful personality and real sense of devilment endeared you to so many people who had the incredibly good fortune to cross your path in life. The light you brought to my life and also to so many other people will never ever be extinguished Blue Eyes. 💕 Remember - you may not always be correct but you are always right 😉 Fly free OLDWOMBAT!!!
Dear Madeline, Cindy, Cameron and family, I am so very sad to hear of Ken’s passing, and I want to extend my heartfelt condolences to you. I had the privilege of knowing Ken as a colleague, a mentor, and a friend. He was a valued member of the IT teaching team at Etech before moving into the engineering team. Ken was a gifted educator—though he preferred the title of lecturer, I always saw him as a teacher of teachers. His approach was uniquely his own: guiding students to insight through storytelling, laughter, and gentle nudges toward discovery. The sound of laughter from upstairs was frequent as Ken somehow managed to encourage everyone; IT students to open up, trust each other and work together. I’ll never forget the treasure hunt through Fremantle, a simple yet brilliant exercise that demonstrated the value of working together to find the treasure over solo effort. It was classic Ken: memorable, effective, and full of heart. For me, Ken engineered workplace visits for the teaching team and many groups of students that resulted in real and meaningful opportunities - work placements that led to jobs and projects that led to greater opportunities. Ken showed me how to build and maintain relationships with employers that has benefited so many over the years. Ken also taught me to stand up and defend my ideas when needed - he snuck in behind me in a big external audit and took over when I ran out of steam and started floundering - we ended up with a commendation! Please know that my thoughts are with you and your family. Ken’s legacy lives on in the many lives he touched, and I feel grateful to have been one of them. With deepest sympathy, Lyndon Vella
Our first Christmas without Santa…Ken you always gave me good advice,you always had time for people,memories of being first mate on your boat are some of my fondest memories…I will miss you terribly..God bless your soul Gone but never forgotten
Dear Mum, Deanna and Cindy ... We were so saddened to hear of Ken's passing and our hearts go out to the entire family. I will miss his stories, his laugh and his phone calls checking on me. I loved how he would play his country music so loud, as we would sing along together, in his office and our many trips in the ute looking for roos. Ken was like a father to me and I will miss him dearly. He was truly an Amazing man and someone so special will never be forgotten. The world was a better place with him in it! We love you all. Please accept our warmest and most sincere condolences ~ ♡ Pamela, Gabriel, Christina, Trevor and Tara
