Kenneth served in the Merchant Marine during WWII and worked 43 years as a carpenter at Sydney Steel. Kenneth loved the outdoors especially hunting and fishing with his boys, long walks in Petersfield with June and his prized strawberry plants. His love of children was reflected in the many carpentry projects he undertook to bring a smile to the faces of his adoring grand children. With his many great attributes Ken may best be remembered as the most amazing father/grandfather anyone could have.
While residing at Harbourstone, Ken passed the time with his lifelong passion for checkers.
