mctwistuk Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Just to let everyone know. this morning Ken Fortune (ken275) passed away. I worked beside Ken for 7 years and am going to miss him. It was unexpected. I saw him on sunday and got emails from him yesterday and today he is no longer alive.
mctwistuk Posted June 20, 2006 Author Posted June 20, 2006 It was a massive shock. i still can't believe it. He was meant to join me on the bbq on thursday
oz *sti* Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 This is very sad news, I did not know Ken but I would like to pass on my condolences to his family & friends etc..... never good to hear.
Guest Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 like oz sti pass on my condolences ........ shock so quick.
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Very, very sad news.............my thoughts are with his family and friends [] Cal
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 As I did not know Ken I did some research on SN to find out more about him........Some of his posts had me in absolute hysterics..........a very witty original fellow..... In conclusion, having never met him it sounds like he was a real hoot. This sudden news has made me think that at the next meet I will make an even bigger effort to meet n' greet the people I have never met... Feeling a bit down after hearing this.... next time I turn the key to my Scoob I'll be thinking of him and his amusing posts... Rgds Cal

mctwistuk Posted June 21, 2006 Author Posted June 21, 2006 I now have a beer in one hand and would like to propse a toast to Ken. He was a great guy and a true friend. The past year has had its ups and downs for him but he managed to get through them and has now moved on to a better place. To Ken another member of the subaru high fliers.
dougster Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 I'll drink to that!!! I had a great day away fishing with Ken recently and he was indeed a great guy, genuine and very generous. Cheers!
