Ken displayed such courage since his illness started. He gained the respect he so deserved and I admired his positive outlook for the future even though he knew the odds were not is his favor. I was blessed to observe that side of Ken and also had the opportunity to express my admiration and respect to him over the past months. I will miss him deeply.
Love from his sister Linda.
KEN WAS TRULY A UNIQUE PERSON
NEVER JUDGED ANYBODY.
IN ALL MY YEARS PLAYING IN BANDS, I NEVER ENJOYED PLAYING AS MUCH WITH ANY OTHER MUSICIAN AS WITH KEN.
HE ENJOYED LIFE TO THE FULLEST.
HE NEVER SET LIMITS ON CHALLENGES, EVEN IN THE DARKEST TIMES, HE CAN MAKE LIGHT OF ANY SITUATION.
I WILL TRULY MISS HIM.
George
A man with a seemingly simple exterior that contained a complex,brilliant mind and the heart of a giant.Judging no one but helping anyone was Ken’s way, asking nothing in return.I had the privilege of knowing Ken 22 years and have so much respect for him,after seeing how he conducted himself with all he came in contact with on a day to day basis.Never judge a book by it’s cover!I will miss his outlook on life and his steady demeaner.
My deepest sympathies in your time of sorrow.
Ken was such a kind hearted man.
He was always there for everyone and had a heart of gold. I can’t count how many time he came to help me in my times of need.
It didn’t matter how busy he was, he always seemed to make time for people he knew.
I feel lucky to have known him.
Bill from Sweden here.
Used to play with Ken in the early 70´s and shop at Diamond music earlier than that.
Sorry to hear about Ken. He was always a man with big plans and an even bigger heart and always fun to be around/play with.
Condolences to his family, particularly Jack (who once sold me a couch!)

Dear Loree, Scott and family … I was so sorry to hear the sad news of Mr. Pringle’s passing. I didn’t know your father very well but was always friendly, kind and helpful and I know that you will miss him terribly.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Ken’s individuality left indelible memories in all our hearts. His uncomplicated approach to life was refreshing in a world that frequently gets caught up in the superficial. We often heard of and witnessed his amazing ability to breathe new life into engines, machines and items that others would have discarded. (He was a recycler before it became fashionable.) We know how much he enjoyed Ruth’s peanut butter cookies!
Conversations with him were often deeper that the deepest ocean with incredible analysis and insight. We would like to echo Scott’s comment regarding never judge a book and the largeness of his heart. With his passing, he has gently reminded us of these virtues.
Ken leaves this earth knowing that his legacy will live on through Loree, Scott, Jenny & Meagan. He would be comforted knowing that Dianne will be supported by them. A family to be proud of!
It seems quite fitting that we donate to the Children’s Wish Foundation – in support of dreams coming true. A fitting tribute to Ken.
The Family of the Late Yvonne Lamoureux would like to Pass on Our deepest Sympathy and Condolences. We will keep the Family in Our Prayers and hope You find Peace. Bless You.
We wanted to express our deepest sympathies to Loree, her family, and her mother, at this difficult time.We hope that Ken’s last days were peaceful, and that you were all able to say goodbye.
Kevin Downey & family
Kenny:
You were the first of my “down east” cousins I ever met, and you were so cool. It was great fun to know someone older than me, but still young enough to be lots of fun. You came to Thunder Bay to play with your band in a bar, and how cool was that for a high school student who always wanted to be one of the cool kids. Because of you, I got to know the rest of your family a lot better. I remember Laurie when she was a new baby, and she was so cute. I enjoyed you and Diane and Laurie a lot, and will miss you a lot. I will always be sorry that I didn’t keep in touch with you better than I did. I have no good excuse except that life happens. I know that you are together now with your mom and dad, my mom and dad, Big Doug and all the rest who were there waiting for you.
Love you Ken
Trina and the rest of your Thunder Bay Cousins
