Ken passed away peacefully at Groves Memorial Community Hospital in Fergus, Ontario on Saturday, January 21st at the age of 83. Beloved husband of Carolyn for 56 years. Loving father of Cameron (Natalie) and Kaylie (Braden) Carberry. Cherished grandfather of Blair, Colten, Chase, Emily, and Maeve. He was predeceased by his parents William and Mary.

Ken was born on July 13, 1939, in Carlyle, Saskatchewan where he spent his formative years on the farm. After moving to Ontario at age 19, he enjoyed a long and fulfilling career with the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Dentistry. An avid sports fan, he rarely missed watching his favourite Saskatchewan Rough Riders. Ken enjoyed travelling with Carolyn, playing a round of golf, and was never happier than when sharing time with his family at the cottage. Ken was a thoughtful, patient, kind, and honest man who was loved by all those who knew him. He was grateful for everything life offered, never taking things for granted.

A heartfelt thank you to the medical staff at Groves Memorial for the compassionate care they provided Ken. As expressions of sympathy, donations to the Groves Memorial Community Hospital (equipment fund) would be appreciated by the family. https://www.grovesfoundation.com/ways-to-give/one-time-gift
