Death notice for the town of: Sarnia, Province: Ontario
With the passing of Uncle Ken we send you all a big, warm hug from Uruguay. God be close to each one at this time.
All through my years of growing up in Canada and then Uruguay, Uncle Ken was a fun uncle. His sedate personality, friendly smile and stories of boat trips, is a happy memory stamped in my mind.
Whether a time in the water with Uncle Ken and Auntie Marguerite or a special family get-together; and even our last sleep-over in your home not too long ago, we’re thankful for fun and meaningful conversations.
You shall be greatly missed.
