Relation: Friend and RCEME Soldier comrade
Dear Maggie and Atkinson Family,
Our sincere condolences on the passing of Ken. I first met Ken at CFB Borden as one of our instructors at CFSEME, Materials Tech Pl. Ken was a good senior soldier / welding instructor and was well liked by all. His calmer demeaner and solid background was always highly respected making him an excellent Snr instructor. His low key humour was nice to hear during our Friday Section TGIFs party, which were usually quite joyful / boisterous if you met the others!
Ken will be missed, there will always be a heartache and many silent tears in the coming days. But you will always have those precious memories and one another to reflected on when Ken was here. RIP Ken.
