Ken ,to me , was a wonderful competitor when I started out on a Todd BSA . We had great races and then his pesky son started going too quick ! It wasn't just Ken and Greg but Guy as well . Ken tried to kill me several times in my ratty caravan (The Paddock Hilton ) with his rollies while telling his entertaining and informative stories . It was always a real pleasure to be in his company . A kind and generous man .I graduated to The Bus of Lurve and Ken would always be a most welcome visitor . I am not alone in saying part of racing , and especially racing in the Isle of Man , will feel the loss of Ken for many , many years to come .
I am richer for knowing Ken.

My thoughts are with Greg, the family , and all Kens friends.
