The man is a success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent man and the love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than he found it; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty, or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had. His memory is a Benediction. This was my man.

Ken and Beryl were good friends of my family ( I being the youngest son) over many years in Kuwait, England and Spain. Ken was always cheerful, energetic, good natured and a great person to be with - not only that but he and Beryl were wonderful with my mother, in her last difficult years, when they came to Spain to stay in their finca, adjacent to my mother's. It is difficult to come to terms with him not coming to Spain, as usual, and enjoying his company. The passing of someone like Ken leaves the world a a greatly poorer place.

We have had so many exciting, and some times 'too exciting' experiences sailing, all of which were encouraged by Ken. He provided us with first boat, a VERY tippy National 12 sailed off Clevedon in the hairy Bristol Channel which got us hooked. We progressed via a couple of more sedate GP 14s, and then into the bigger stuff, where you can always put the engine on, or go below and make tea! We have had some great sailing times, both in the UK, and further afield to the Med and Caribbean, and Ken was always interested in what boat it was, where we'd been and the detailed spec of the vessel, sails etc!! He will always be top of the toast list when we break out the rum ration! Much love and fond memories Di & Alan xx
