It is a very sad day indeed to hear such sad news and I agree with Jase, it is quite hard to take in.
Ken was someone who provided and gave so much to the junior and youth scene in queensland, not only during Kirstie's and Tanya's time in bowling but beyond, such was his love for the sport.
I don't think there would be anyone who could say they haven't benefited at some stage in their life from knowing Ken, whether he was someone who you only knew to say Gday to or whether he was someone you sat down with to have a chat.
Ken was never a person to have to raise his voice to make a point such was the respect he earned. The only time I ever heard him even come close to swearing was if his beloved Cats got touched up on the footy field, something I never forgot to remind him of, especially if the Hawks had won.
Ken gave endless time, effort, encouragement and inspiration to a constant stream of up n coming juniors and youth bowlers, not only from the first time they met him but for years to come.
He has left not only a big gap in the sport he loved but also his family and our thoughts go out to them.
With our deepest sympathies, Michael, Amanda and Kai
