Dear Family,
Sending you prayers and thinking of you all during this difficult time. Uncle Ken was such a kind and loving man and I have wonderful memories of him. There are so many Gunby traits that will live on in generations to come, like the way Uncle Ken smiled with his eyes. Hold the memories close to keep his spirit alive.
Love you all dearly,
Nina and James Tsougios
My thoughts and prayers go to Ruth and family. Rest In Peace Kenneth.

To my dear Aunt Ruth, cousins Kimberly and Mark, Randy and Krista, Aliana, Courtney, Cole and Tyler,
We have lost someone here on earth, but heaven has gained a truly great angel. I will miss Uncle Ken’s smile, his kind spirit, and his way of always making light of a situation no matter how contentious it may be. He had a way with words, and was a lot more level-headed then he’d sometimes lead us on to believe!! 🙂
When you find the going gets rough, just think about all the memorable times we had with Ken, and they will bring a smile to your face. Nothing can replace the loss that we feel, but cherishing the memories and laughs hopefully allows you to heal.
This is not goodbye, but so long for now.
Our prayers and sympathies are with you all,
Byron, Simone, Jace and Jayden.
You were such a lovely couple. With sincere sympathy.

Ruth and family,
We were sorry hear of Ken’s passing. Always recall his warm greetings when we would arrive at trailer country from North Bay. Our thoughts are with all of you during this sad time.

Ruth, Kimberly and family.
My sincere condolences. Ken left a big impression on me from my brief time at WFPC.
Ken was a genuine ” gentleman”. There are very few left in this world that exhibit the favorable qualities that Ken did except maybe my own father! A great husband and father I am sure. Whenever we crossed paths at family functions, the Rockton fair or some other community event, there was Kens smiling face to greet me. I will sorely miss him and that encompassing smile. He was a great man. A balance of church, community and family made him so appealing to all that had the pleasure of knowing him!
RIP
Cousin John David
Dear Ruth and family
