  3. Very sad. A great unassuming couple that we only met in later life but it felt like we had known them for much longer. Our common and sense of adventure interest in flying, particularly Cessna 210’s would keep us talking and exchanging notes for ages.

  7. The Committees and members, past and present, of the Warrnambool Lawn Tennis Club recognise with sadness the passing of Ken Parker. Ken’s interest in the tennis club was fostered by his father, Percy, who was a founding member of the club in 1950 and instrumental in the creation of the magnificent tennis facility we all enjoy today. Generations of the Parker family have continued to be actively involved in tennis in Warrnambool and their contribution and support is very much valued and celebrated.

    Rest in Peace Ken.
