Thank you for allowing us to attend Ken’s funeral, Ken was my fathers cousin. I only met Ken once, this was when he drove several hours to attend my fathers funeral in 2003. We had a very interesting chat on that day and we have several photos of the cousins growing up in Liverpool. My dad often talked about family get togethers with his cousins.
My father was Ron Wallace son of Robert Wallace & Alice Wallace (nee Houghton).

Rest in Peace dear Uncle Ken. I was so sorry to hear you had passed away so suddenly. I have happy memories of you and Aunt Barbara's visits in Liverpool when I was younger and the last time I saw you at my Mum, your sister's funeral.
My thoughts are with you Derek and Lesley-Anne.

Through caring for the lovely Barbara, I came to know and love her family and I thank you for including me in so many important moments over the years. You were amazing with my mum and so kind to me when she passed. I will miss our little chats but I'm happy in the knowledge that you are together again forever and I am sure you are sailing the blue, blue oceans somehow somewhere you loved so much.
A true, true gentleman, you will be sorely missed. Safe journey.

Deeply saddened to hear of my Uncle Ken's sudden passing, and sadly I didn't get to see him since he came to Joy's funeral, my mum, his sister.
He was a great and kind uncle and my deepest condolences go out to Derek and Lesley-Anne

We are both so sad that we will not have the pleasure to walk together again around the park, or see you in the forest with your four legged friends. You truly loved the doggies you had the opportunity to care for and they loved you too. We will take comfort to know that you are all together again over the rainbow bridge.

I already miss Ken and Millie walking round the Park. I am also a lover of dogs and Ken's support to Waggy Tails has been brilliant. They need more people like Ken.

Take strength and remember the many happy years you had with such a wonderful father.
My sincere condolences
Samara

Father-in-Law

I came into your family Not knowing what I'd find. I was nervous and afraid. You gently eased my mind.

You made me feel right at home From the first day that we met. You welcomed me with opened arms, And that I won't forget

You were a great father-in-law. You stand out above the rest. I thank God for blessing me with you - the very best.

I will miss you so much - rest in peace. Xxx

The best father we could have hoped for. Sadly you left us unexpectedly and far too soon - we were not ready to say goodbye but take comfort knowing you are now back with mum and can rest together in peace. You were our rock and we will miss you so much. All our love Lesley & Maurice. Xx❤️❤️
