This is sad news. It brings back a flood of memories for me. Ken and I started out racing together in the early 70's. I can remember that we each raced a 4 yr old in an ohha series at all the b tracks one summer way back then. He won the final at Kawartha downs and I was second with a horse named Mr Joe Kool. I cant remember the name of his horse but it was very exciting times for both of us. We raced together after that at Windsor Raceway for many years. Ken was a great guy,soft spoken and well liked by everyone. Our condolences to Shelly and the girls.
