This site is dedicated to the memory of Ken.
Ken was born in Twickenham on May 30, 1932. He was a wonderful husband to Pat, father to Graeme, Stuart and Robert, grandfather to Claudia and Daniel, father-in-law to Louise and Jessica and friend to many and will always be remembered.
It is with great sadness that we deal with his passing, however, we take comfort from the thoughts that he is now with Pat and Graeme looking over us.
Please feel free to load up content to this site - either a memory of an event, an overall thought or pictures.

Thoughts
“If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win, but think you can't
It's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you've lost,
For out in the world we find
Success being with a fellow's will;
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you're outclassed, you are:
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.”
Poem by Walter D Wintle found recently in Dad's diary. This perfectly sums up his indefatigability

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
