  3. Ken was one of those rare people who immediately touched the life of anyone he met.

    A man of honor, integrity and intelligence with a deep love for his family and immense pride in his country. His warm welcoming smile and sincere interest in others brightened the world around him.

    We wish we had met him sooner so we could have known him longer. He surely will not be forgotten.

    We send love and heartfelt condolences to the entire family.

  4. I feel privileged to have known Ken for over 50 years. Our two families have been very close since Peter and I were at school together. We all enjoying many Sunday lunches at Naringal, often with Ken providing the beautifully prepared meat. Even when I moved away, a visit to Ken and Betty was always top of the list on my visits home.
    Mum and Dad also travelled overseas with Ken and Betty and they all enjoyed regaling us with their exploits, which were a bit on the wild side for those of mature years. They must have had a ball!
    Richard and I, and the whole Wilton clan, will really miss him. Our love and thoughts are with Betty, Peter and Dianne and extended family. Lyn Simons.
