My thoughts are with Ken's family at this time. I want them to know ,from someone who has worked beside Ken as a peer ,and has been supported by Ken as a friend , how much he will be missed. For 4 years we shared the small confines of number 18 station. The laughs and memories that were created ,only firefighters can appreciate. Ken was someone who needed your support at times , but was was also the first ,to offer his to you. Hilarious, Kind, Stubborn, Instinctive, Leader, Empathetic , all qualities I can immediately think of when speaking of Ken. Qualities that are synonymous with the term Firefighter. He loved our career and was a natural at performing it ! I wish I could have helped my friend in his time of need, as much as I know ,he would have helped me if I had similar needs. Rest well Ken, you will be missed by so many . The Gong in Fact has Sounded ! Your Brother, Doug Barr
