13. Thinking of all of Ken’s family at this extremely sad and hard time. Both my dad ( workshop ) and myself ( office ) worked at Bryan Bros & Borch many years ago where Keith was also an employee. Dad and Keith also did a bit of fishing together. I’m sure you have many wonderful memories you will hold close to your hearts 💙💙💙
