Truly sad news to hear. Ken was a real gentleman, always thinking the best for the website and the membership. He also helped and encouraged me in certain occasions several years ago. Visited in Tilbury right five years ago, of course sent messages to him at that time, and looked closely the Gravesend shores to see the vantage points he used to use when photographing along the Thames. My condolences to his closest ones.

Didn't know Ken that well but he put me on the straight & narrow on more than a few occasions. My heartfelt condolences to his family & friends. I can't believe it  :(

R.I.P Ken, God bless you.
