Ken was born in Cochrane, Ont., moved to Merritton at an early age, and was very proud to be a Merrittonian. Ken was the ultimate hockey grandfather, rarely missing his grandson's games; he was well known at the Merritton Arena as he cheered on the Merritton Bulldogs over the years. Ken followed his boys from pre-school skating, through Midget in Merritton, Josh more recently at CYO & Noah (Ollie the Goalie) in Pee Wee AAA. H e could always be counted on for his famous pre-game encouraging phone call. That Leaf's hat helped them through thick & thin!. Marlie & Samantha were the apples of his eye. If you asked him they could do no wrong. He was their constant supply of lov e, hugs, encouragement, riddles & rides. For his grandchildren he would drive to the end of the earth. A lifetime of precious memories will be carried on through all of our lives. His spirit will be forever in his chair. Dad, don't worry, we'll "watc h ourselves backing out" of the driveway; we now have the best guardian angel.
