Mexico Ken

[glgolfer]

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.

[wolfshadow]

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]

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.

[dirtgirl]

Oh no. :( How horrible. I met him on the Liberty Pre-Inaugural as well. My condolences to his family.:(:(

 

Yes, Kathy, he created that album of our pictures.

Paul ~ thank you for posting this. I do recall meeting them on the Liberty Pre Inaugural. So very sorry to hear this and to have your cruise end on a sad note.

[Schplinky]

dreadful news. We met them on the pre-inaugural for Liberty and they both had such fun together. Poor pene!!!

[jillybabes]

Oh my, what terrible news...We too met them on the Pre-Inaugural Liberty cruise and I have a picture of the group from that sailing on my computer desk...Thoughts and prayers to Pene and family...Jill & Dave

My husband and I are deeply sadden by this news. We have sailed a number of times with Ken and Penne and gone on one of their arranged tours. Ken was a wonderful human being!!!

 

Our hearts go out to Penne. Glad that Father Dale is there to be with her. Will try to find their address so we can send a card.

We sailed w/ Ken & Pene on the 2006 Jewel TA w/ many other CC members. We were lucky enough to spend a great deal of time w/ them both as well as enjoying one of their famous excursions. What a fun couple!!!

 

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Pene and their family.

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.

Memory Eternal my friend.

 

Pene and family, so sorry to learn of this. Ken will be missed by all that knew him.

[madforcruising]

I was in disbelieve when I heard the sad news earlier today.

I had the pleasure to sail with them in 2006 on the Jewel TA and joined their tour to Blarney Castle and Kinsale.

My condolences to Pene and the entire Family. Ken will be missed.

[crusinanan]

I did not know Mexico Ken but my thoughts and prayers and with his family and friends. It sounds like he loved to cruise and had many friends here on CC, I am sure that he will be missed.

 

Penny

I am terribly saddened by todays news. I sailed with them in December on the Voyager TA. It was a great pleasure to meet both Ken and Pene and enjoy their wonderful tour of Madeira. Ken was a wonderful and fun loving human being, and I am so glad I got to meet him. Pene, my heart goes out to you, I am so glad Fr. Dale was with you. Condolences to all your family. God Bless

[heatherb1958]

We are so sad to hear this news. We were lucky enough to sail with Ken and Pene on more than one occasion and I enjoyed one of Ken's well organised tours in Madeira. Goodbye my friend, thankyou for all the memories.

 

Our thoughts go out to Pene ,the children and grandchildren.

 

Heather and John .

[ChristieNJ]

Oh no....that is so horrible!!!! We also met them on the Liberty P.I. and had the pleasure of having dinner with them. I loved the website he set up for all of us for that cruise. :( Pene, our thoughts and prayers are with you!!!!!!

[ChristieNJ]

Here's a great shot of them on our Liberty cruise:

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.

 

Nancy (Ken also)

[tocanada]

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.
