Condolences for the family of “Kenneth Charles Spinks”
Uncle Ken & Aunt Dorothy will always hold a special place in my heart. I hope it eases the sorrow knowing that they are reunited. Condolences from Lisa/ Steve, Zack/Cassandra, Tirzah, Asher, Travis/Kristen & Jacob.
Anne, Lynne, Darrell, Jerry & Family,
My thoughts are with and your heavy hearts with such a loss – Uncle Ken. Forever in our hearts and fondest of memories. Truly one gentleman.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Ken’s family and friends. I met Ken at the Woodbridge Legion a few years ago and started talking to him to discover that we knew a number of families up in the Albion and Caledon area. He brought in pictures from years gone by and we were able to place names to a number of those photos. He knew my parents and other relatives and related a few stories. This was truly a wonderful man to speak to and reminisce with. We chuckled through many memories of Albion, Caledon and WIldfield. I am so sorry to hear of Ken’s passing. He will be missed.

Darrell,
Our heartfelt condolences to you and your family at the passing of your father. We wish your family well.
On behalf of the Coles family, (Ed and Mary Lou) please accept our heartfelt condolences on Ken’s passing. Over the last five years I got to really know Ken through many conversations with him and my Mom (she has difficulty talking due to a stroke) and thoroughly enjoyed hearing all of the stories about the group of six. He will be missed.
Lynne, Jerry, Anne & Darrell
Our thoughts are with you and your loss is shared by all of us.
Love
John, Myrna, Cynthia & Darin

Thought about Ken today, not knowing he had passed. Ken has been an old friend, both him and Dorothy. Whenever I saw him, he was a breath of fresh air, jovial, opinionated, yet passionate about his interests. He will be sadly missed. Condolences to his family.
