glgolfer Posted February 19, 2009 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2009 For those of you who knew Mexico Ken and his wife Pene, he passed away in his sleep at 0430 this morning on the Mariner of the Seas. Father Dale is onboard and he and Pene are doing as well as can be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfshadow Posted February 19, 2009 #2 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I didn't know him but my sympathies to his family and friends. So they were on the 46 day cruise? I don't know how old he was or if he was in good health, but I sure hope he enjoyed his last days obviously doing what he wanted to be doing, cruising.

Happy ks Posted February 19, 2009 #3 Share Posted February 19, 2009 We met them briefly on Liberty of the Seas pre-inaugural. I'm pretty sure they were the ones who created a web site for us all to send pictures of ourselves. My condolences to Pene and all their family and friends. He will be missed by many, I'm sure.

shelbylook Posted February 19, 2009 #10 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Oh dear. How upsetting this is. Ken & Pene are in a lot of my pics from the pre-inaugural. Fun, fun people. We had the pleasure of sitting next to them at dinner one night. Poor Pene. She is going to be lost. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to her and their family.

NancyK0904 Posted February 19, 2009 #24 Share Posted February 19, 2009 We are just shocked of the news, we had drinks with Ken and Pene every night on our recent Voyager TA b2b. He was such a fun loving person and he organized wonderful tours. So glad that Fr. Dale is with Pene for support. He will be greatly missed.

tocanada Posted February 19, 2009 #25 Share Posted February 19, 2009 That is just so sad. I was also with them on the back to back Voyager cruises. Ken really was just a wonderful guy and will be so missed by us all. He loved to cruise and loved the Concierge Lounge. We all had such a good time together on our cruises. His Madeira excursions will always be remembered. My heart goes out to Pene and their family. andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
