Loving father of Darren Thomson (Melanie) of Okotoks, Alberta, and Randi Charette (Dave) of Kincardine.

Lovingly remembered by his sister, Elaine McNally (Paul); and in-laws, Pat Carpenter, Jane Marsh, Lynn Dobson, Susan O’Dell (Richard), and Cindy O’Dell; as well as many nieces and nephews. Ken shared a special bond with his pet companions, Maggie, Molly, and black lab, Sam.

Ken worked at the Bruce Heavy Water Plant as an operator from 1971 to 2001. His time at the plant not only provided him with an income but with many great and lasting friendships.
