Allan Ferchuk wrote a sympathy message

“It is with deep sadness that I learned of the passing of Ken; a longtime CCAA colleague and fellow college hockey advocate. When I first met Ken at CCAA meetings I was so impressed with his calm, insightful and well reasoned positions on topics related to the growth of post secondary sport In Canada. He was a strong advocate for the ACAA but had the ability to connect with all colleagues from across Canada. A most fond memory was of Ken hosting us at the cabin and the fresh lobster "gorging".”
