I have been a close friend for 62 years, serving with him on Northern Division and as partners on the CID in the 60’s. He was one of the most genuine friends and collegues one could hope to have. We enjoyed several holidays together as a family and I shall miss him enormously.
Our hearts go out to Jan, Gareth and Jenny.
Rest in peace my dear friend.

Ken was a dear friend and colleague during our service together in the CID. He was a first class individual and his advice was always meaningful and spot on. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and family, along with sincere condolences.

Ken was my DS on the Drug Squad in 1976 and DI on Central C.I.D. in 1985. A first class officer who always put the well being of his personnel first. A true friend and gent. After retirement, we spent many happy hours together around the pool in Spain.
Our condolences to Jan, Jenny and Gareth.
Rest in peace my friend.

Good early sixties service memories of Ken. An excellent colleague, setting a fine example to all of us younger officers. Later in service realised he was one of the finest examples of a true and trustworthy police officer, a very good friend to have.
A sad day for family and friends. One of the best.
Rest in Peace Taff.

As mentioned previously by Mick Farrell, Ken joined the few of us cadets/civilian clerks when the City Police recruited the first intake of the newly formed uniformed cadet corps under the command of Insp Holland and Sgt George Scott. Ken was a proud Welshman who was always there to help and assist and this formed the basis for his sound and fulfilling police career which ran in tandem with my own although out paths seldom met. My heartfelt condolences to his wife and family.
