Condolence from Dean Stinchcombe on March 16th, 2020 8:38 pm

I had the pleasure to work with Ken as a camera assistant on a few projects in Toronto. He had the gift to gab and had many interesting stories. It’s sad to hear about legends such as Ken. Sometimes people in the film biz aren’t appreciated until they are gone. I believe Ken was appreciated by many when he was part of the I.A.T.S.E. 667 community. I also had the pleasure to work with Emma his daughter. She was my camera trainee and had been following in her father’s footsteps. I hadn’t seen either for so long but I want to extend my condolences to the entire family with a heavy heart.
