Dear Ferne! Sorry to hear about Ken’s passing. My name is Joakim, and I’m a far away relative from Luleå, Sweden. I’m a son of Ingemar Karlsson from Överkalix and my grandparents was Ingvar & Edla Karlsson in Allsån. When I was 11 years old, I think it was 1980, we met in Överkalix when you and your sister Carol was visiting together with your parents Kay & Carl. I have been seeking for you relatives on the internet and found this. Hope we could get in touch, so I can tell you more about our life here in the north of Sweden. Best regards.
Our thoughts and deepest sympathy go out to the entire Reid family at this very sad time. Ken was always a friend before business partner and the Fisher’s will always remember Ken just as that – a dear friend.
Bob and Char Fisher and Family
Dear Fern
I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Ken and I have shared our special day for numerous years. It won’t be the same not to extend bday wishes to my caring friend.
Hugs sweetie, you are in our prayers
