Thank you very much for your kind words Katey. My Gramp spoke very fondly of you and your family - thank you for all your help over the years. He indeed was a lovely man and we all miss him dearly. I can only imagine the delight on his face when you gave him the jam - he loved bread and jam for tea 😀. Thank you for thinking of us. Best wishes, Becky (Ken's granddaughter) xx

We will miss you, Ken. Myself, my sister, brother and husband have cleaned for ken over the last 5 years, and my grandfather remembers him as his superior in the railway works many years ago. A lovely man, I'll always remember him being so pleased with some jam we bought back from holiday for him as he used to enjoy jam and bread whilst watching Pointless. All our love to the family, from the Richards, Cooks and Warners x
