That is indeed very sad news - Ken was a genuinely nice bloke.

He was in great form when Kev & I last met up with him & his good lady on our last 'Snake Pass Inn' runs.

Condolences to his family.

Met Ken a couple of times at SCH - really nice bloke.

Like others have said, his "good news / bad news" thread was a real shock, but who could have guessed that this would follow so quickly? Thoughts have to be with his family - what a terrible blow.

Live life while you have it, you just never know...

Absolutely gutted to hear this very, very sad news.I first met Ken approx 4 years ago when i first bought my S3, he came to my house and we had a good chat about TVR"S, life in general, and everything else. Ive had numerous dealings with him, and chats at meets etc over the years, and i used to tease him by threatning to clean the wheels on his S. Ken loved to drive them, not clean them. A very, very genuine guy, and my deepest sympathy to his wife and family, Tom.

Oh dear, very sad. I'm only on the fringes of the S community, not posting very often and knowing only a couple of you regulars. I never met Ken, but you see a post from somebody with shared interests one day and next day he is dead. I hope his family are coping OK.

Awful news - saw the post the other day and wondered what the problem was but clearly was much worse than I thought. Condolences to his family.
Hope you S guys have a good rev for him on Sat at BNG.
