We would enjoy the wonderful fruits just to name a few, mangoes, pear, naseberry , we would just sit and listen as you tell us about growing up with your siblings we would laugh when you switch to French creole on us. It was always a joyous time when we as family meet. You would always want to have gully bean with salted fish, I remember cooking that for you for breakfast your surely enjoyed it.

Ken was such a warm, kind, gentle, and welcoming man, and such an important part of our church family at Epiphany. My daughters have many happy memories of laughing and joking with “Mr. Dennis”. He had time for everyone – big and small, great and least. He truly embodied Christ’s love for others.
May he rest in peace and rise in glory, and may you take comfort in happy memories and the warm wishes of your many friends.
