I learnt of Ken's passing from over here in Lancashire, I saw him at the Club last July when visiting the art exhibition, and it was so good to see him despite his difficulties, he was so pleased to see me again, and we had a catch up. Ken kindly introduced me to bowling at the Holmfirth Club, and I told him I was now treasurer of a club near where I live.
Sad to hear of his passing, and our sympathies to his family.
Rest in peace Ken, a lovely man!
