My condolences to the family in this hard time ❤️
Another wonderful friend and travel buddy gone from our lives. We’ll truely miss your sense of humour and cheekiness you always had. From those early days on School Council together, to later years on the Car Club Committee together, you never changed. You had an unwavering love for your family and loved telling stories of Joel’s antics. Your girls and grandchildren were always a joy to you. You were a loyal friend and always added humour on our group holidays. As we cry more tears for you, we give our sincerest sympathy to Shirl, Melissa, Prue and families. We are also thinking of all his siblings and their families as we say our final good bye to our friend Ken. Our loss is Joel’s gain. 💔 RIP
To Shirl, Melissa & Chris, Prue & Jeff & families, we are thinking of you all. Treasured memories of Easters, Grand Finals & Lake days. Rest easy Herm & enjoy a cold one with Joel.
Love Vicki, Carli & Liam, Chloe & Jacob, Nick & Maia & Mitch⚘️

Condolences to Shirley, Melissa Prue and families. We will all miss Ken but will never forget the man he was. We will never forget Ken’s and the families strength and ability to make us all comfortable under difficult circumstances. Ken was part of the Arnoldt and Greenwood family for over 40 years and a valued staff member. He was a True Blue Ford lover, happy to help and pass on his knowledge to many Ford lovers.
Memories of past times pop up at these sad times and I am gratful I have known Ken.
RIP
Dennis and Tops
Thinking of you Shirl at this very sad time.. Love to you and all your family..
Deepest sympathy from Graeme, Maree and the Hipworth Families ❤️
Dear Shirl & all your family,
What a guy! Ken welcomed us into the Kerang Car Club with open arms and embraced us wholeheartedly, as he will still be doing, with all those who have gone before him, all those so close to him are joining hands, gathering with him, looking down on family & friends. So many have passed recently😢, no doubt he will start a club ‘up there’ and be running the show in no time. Ken was a champion, an all round great guy with an incredible sense of humour and will be sorely missed by all who crossed his path. RIP lovely man (we are unable to attend the funeral to help send Ken off, but will be silent in memory and reflection) Love to you all, Rod & Caren Coates 💓
To Shirley and family, our sincere condolences on the loss of your loved husband, father and grandfather Ken.
Lyn and Keith Millar.

Dear Shirl, Melissa Prue and families. No words will ease the heartache you have all endured over the past few years.
Very sad to hear that Herm’s fight is over. My thoughts are with you all.
Deepest sympathy Shirl and all your family on your sad loss of Ken, so sad. 😢😢
Condolences to Shirl and the extended families that you and Ken helped create . Ken was always prepared to help you in his working days at A & G’s without any fuss.
Cars were nearly as big a part of his Life as his family. The last two years have been a battle but you always — to those of us on the outside — seemed to take life’s challenges in your stride. I am sure there will be some vintage cars up there waiting for a good mechanic to get them up and going again.
Rest in peace Ken.
Edward & Gloria Fenton.

From Shane & Raelene Hall.
Dear Shirley, Melissa, Prue & family, words can’t describe how we are feeling but only minor compared too your loss. Trips we shared, over abundance of coffees with Herm as we fixed world problems instead of fixing cars, a huge void in our lives. Honoured to have called him a close friend, pain free and with his boy.
Rest easy mate, Mazz & Browny.
