EMDCC was established by Ken in 1981 and has been inspiring Deaf and hearing volunteers and changing deaf children’s lives ever since. Ken’s calm humour, commitment and consistent support over the years has been invaluable. It could not have happened without him. Thank you Ken from all at EMDCC, we will all miss you so much.

Ken was a lovely, gentle person who had such a good heart and especially supportive of Deaf people. My husband is Deaf and when my beloved late mother wanted to learn BSL it was Ken that taught her. I will always remember him for that. Sleep well Ken.

Ken was a Home Library Service volunteer for many, many years. A true Gentleman always willing to help. It was a pleasure to speak with Ken. He was always to know where I had been walking and knew all the places in the Lincolnshire wolds and beyond.
A lovely man, fondly rendered.

Ken, all those years I knew you in Grimsby and Deaf Camp I never knew you were a Dr. It’s just so you to downplay your amazingness.

You have left such a legacy for us and we have big shoes to fill.

You taught me so much about reading, who was cool and who was not in history.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did for us.

And I send love to Brenda and your family who hopefully will read our words and find some comfort there.
