I was greatly saddened by the news that Ken Farwell had passed away. Ken grew up here in Beiseker. My wife taught him at Beiseker Community School starting in Grade One. The Farwells are neighbours so we'd see him often. I taught him many times through his years at our school.
He helped re-start C.O.P.s (Citizens On Patrol) here in Beiseker but his latest Beiseker adventure was his joining Stage East! He loved getting involved with that whacky group and making suggestions on the performance. He worked on sound affects and music. We had convinced him to act and he was ready to do it!
Unfortunately, his health issues prevented his stage début and he had to bow out of Stage East. We all missed him very much.
We missed his bright smile, and his positive outlook. Ken will be missed by so many here and elsewhere. My heartfelt condolences go to his family and friends.
