In loving memory of Kenneth Martin Park, age 73, who passed away on February 26, 2024 in Toronto.
Ken was born February 9, 1951 in Dryden, Ontario; the second son of Irene and Leslie Park.
After graduating from Dryden High School, Ken went on to study at the University of Guelph. He then remained in the Toronto area, but he visited home frequently when his work with North American News brought him to the area. Ken enjoyed returning to Northwestern Ontario for the hunting and fishing, as well as holidays and visits with family and friends.
Ken retired from Covenant House in Toronto where he enjoyed working with the staff and clients. Ken enjoyed his time travelling to various Blue Grass music festivals, collecting stamps, books, and records, watching movies, reading, and gaming. He also loved spending time with his loyal companion Remi.
Ken was predeceased by his parents, Renie and Les, sister-in-law Wanda and numerous aunts and uncles.
Ken is survived by his brother Dell (Bunky) of Dryden; nieces Laurie (Richard) McCarthy and Karen (Martin) Kudlacek both of Dryden; as well as great-nieces Sarah, Michaela, Brianne, and Trista; and several cousins.
In memory of Ken, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 2300 Yonge St., Suite 1200,
