Jim McKane
Lonna & family – please accept my deepest condolences on Ken’s passing. He has had a tough few years and is no doubt in a better place now. Although, Ken & I have not had much contact for many years, I have often thought of him and our younger years at good, old S.S. 15. Since I live in Wiarton, I doubt I will make the celebration of Ken’s life on Monday; however, I will donate to the Cheryl Somerville Memorial Fund at University of Guelph in his memory.
All the best

sorry for the delayed message, but I had not heard about Ken’s passing.
He was a distant relative of the Gardner?Archdeacon family and a fellow juice processor.
It was always a pleasure to visit with Ken and he was a perfect gentleman in business dealings.
