Ken welcomed me into Freight Haulage mid 1970's and I gained much from his knowledge and friendship. Saddened to hear of him passing. Thoughts for Kay and family.

We have many fond memories of Ken and Kay when Ken was managing the Southland schoolboy cricket teams.
Ken was a very caring person and worked hard to make sure all the games were enjoyable for all.
We are thinking about you all at this sad time.
