Dear Mum, Deanna and Cindy ... We were so saddened to hear of Ken's passing and our hearts go out to the entire family. I will miss his stories, his laugh and his phone calls checking on me. I loved how he would play his country music so loud, as we would sing along together, in his office and our many trips in the ute looking for roos. Ken was like a father to me and I will miss him dearly. He was truly an Amazing man and someone so special will never be forgotten. The world was a better place with him in it! We love you all. Please accept our warmest and most sincere condolences ~ ♡ Pamela, Gabriel, Christina, Trevor and Tara

Dear Madeline, Cindy, Cameron and family, I am so very sad to hear of Ken’s passing, and I want to extend my heartfelt condolences to you. I had the privilege of knowing Ken as a colleague, a mentor, and a friend. He was a valued member of the IT teaching team at Etech before moving into the engineering team. Ken was a gifted educator—though he preferred the title of lecturer, I always saw him as a teacher of teachers. His approach was uniquely his own: guiding students to insight through storytelling, laughter, and gentle nudges toward discovery. The sound of laughter from upstairs was frequent as Ken somehow managed to encourage everyone; IT students to open up, trust each other and work together. I’ll never forget the treasure hunt through Fremantle, a simple yet brilliant exercise that demonstrated the value of working together to find the treasure over solo effort. It was classic Ken: memorable, effective, and full of heart. For me, Ken engineered workplace visits for the teaching team and many groups of students that resulted in real and meaningful opportunities - work placements that led to jobs and projects that led to greater opportunities. Ken showed me how to build and maintain relationships with employers that has benefited so many over the years. Ken also taught me to stand up and defend my ideas when needed - he snuck in behind me in a big external audit and took over when I ran out of steam and started floundering - we ended up with a commendation! Please know that my thoughts are with you and your family. Ken’s legacy lives on in the many lives he touched, and I feel grateful to have been one of them. With deepest sympathy, Lyndon Vella
