Ken passed away peacefully at age 87 on January 19, 2013 after a long and courageous battle with cancer.

He is survived by Kay, his wife of 51 years, nephews Bill Steele (Bobbie), Barry McDonald (Nok), Doug McDonald (Iris), niece Leanne McDonald and Brian, CJ and Devon Greenside. Ken was predeceased by his sister Connie Steele.

Born and raised in Vancouver, BC, Ken worked as a radio operator and inspector in a career spanning 43 years for the Department of Communications.

Ken and Kay shared a love of square dancing and were active in the square dancing community for many years. Ken was a local caller and loved nothing more than to teach new dancers. He will be remembered for his quick wit, genuine love of people and his adoration and devotion to his beloved wife. He will be dearly missed by his family and all their lifelong friends.

The family would like to extend their deepest heartfelt gratitude to the staff at The Harrison at ELIM Village for their warm and compassionate care. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in his memory to the BC Cancer Foundation.
