Passed away peacefully at the age of 95 surrounded by his children. He was born in Toronto on Valentine’s Day in 1922. He grew up during the Depression which shaped his outlook on life. A Veteran of WWII (RCAF), he apprenticed as a watchmaker, and then received his teaching degree from The University of Toronto’s Teacher’s College. He went on to teach in the Toronto Public Schools for 25 years. He raised four children with his wife Margaret Harding, who died after a prolonged battle with Parkinson’s. Ken cared for her at home until she died in 2003. An avid athlete, he swam, played baseball, water-skied and curled into his late 80s. He was a man ahead of his time; a recycler and composter and anti-smoking advocate before it was popular. Ken had a great sense of humour and quick wit, was the epitome of practical and frugal, and could fix just about anything. He will be deeply missed by his four children and their spouses David (Nancy), Jim (Ingrid), Jane (Alex), Anne (Bill), thirteen grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at Pine Hill Cemetery at 625 Birchmount Road, Toronto on March 15th at 2:00 (visitation at 1:00). In lieu of flowers please send donations to Providence Villa or The Michael J. Fox Parkinson’s Foundation.
