3953	Excerpt from Obituary - Ken was a champion bridge player (Diamond Life Master) and a dedicated and innovative vegetable gardener. He edited and published Vegetable Garden Research, and wrote 'Sweet Potatoes' for the Home Garden. He also wrote two bridge mystery novels, Deadly Endplay and Shades of Grey; his advancing illness prevented completion of the planned trilogy. A Queen's graduate in Engineering, and holding a Master's Degree in English from Western, Ken was a true Renaissance man. His creativity and inventiveness were expressed through pottery, stained glass, art and literature. Ken was an independent thinker and the kindest of men, qualities that don't often go together. There will be no service, but a celebration of life will be held at a date to be announced later. In lieu of flowers, donations to Parkinson Canada would be appreciated by the family	ALLAN, Kenneth William (I136)
