The whole slalom community owes a massive debt to Ken - as parent, club organiser and coach, judge, committee secretary, yearbook compiler and a whole lot of other things, as well as creator of the SimplySlalom software that most race organisers now depend on. He was one of those people you can't replace.

The Slalom World would have been MUCH poorer without the enthusiasm the Ken brought, we will miss him.
Thoughts are with Amanda, Tim and the whole family
All spelling errors are intentional and are there to show new and improved ways of spelling old words. Grammatical errors are due to too many English classes/teachers.
Old. Fat. Slow. Bad tempered. And those are my good points

It is sad to think we will not see him around anymore.
And quite amazing to think that he really did carry on contributing right up to the last - it's less than three weeks since he sent out the latest update to SimplySlalom.
RIP Ken and thank you for all you did.

He was judging on the riverbank on Sunday
It was him that I quoted in my Facebook post (which brings a smile to my face).
Such a nice guy.
