Today we remember our dear friend on what would have been his 75th birthday.
He was truly one of a kind — a hard worker, a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather, and such a good friend to Lance & I.
He lived his life with integrity, kindness, and quiet strength, always putting those he loved first. We feel so blessed to have shared so many memories, laughs, and moments together in Dresden, Buckhorn ,Florida & Chatham.
You are deeply missed and forever in our hearts.
Carol-Anne & Lance Babcock

I was amazed at all the stories he could tell and people he knew. He was very talented in his work, and volunteered his talents at the community centre. But most of all he was such a great friend. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure to know him. I treasure the memories of the times we spent together.

Dear Linda,
I am so very sorry to hear about Ken's death. I know his absence will be felt by many. He always had a moment to stop and chat with me as I passed on my walks. I was getting to know him better each time. I appreciated that his name was always included when neighbourhood chores were needed. A helper and the world needs helpers. I will miss him. My condolences to you and your family at this most difficult of times. Hugs Marney (and Peter)

I am deeply saddened to hear of Ken’s passing. There are very few people in this world as kind and generous as Ken Dill. Though we were neighbors, he was a true father figure to me and treated us like family. He gave so freely of his time, his wisdom, and his heart. I learned so much from him and will always be grateful for the moments we shared. I love him dearly. My heartfelt condolences to Linda and the Dill family.

Growing up, it was always fun to get together with the cousins at the Dill Christmas at Uncle Bruce’s, as well as the drop in Sunday dinner visits.
Cherish all the memories.
You are all in our thoughts at this sad time. Our sincere sympathy.
