Our thoughts are with all the Family at this sad time. Ken has been very much part of our Family over many years as a Football Referee and as a Futsal Referee. He now leaves us with special memories and will be remembered for his cheeky smile and dedication as a Referee. RIP Ken. Much love Chris, Nicole, Rory, Karstan, and Bentley, Lyall and Maria SinclairAnonymous
Condolences to Shona and his boys. I played many games of football with Kenny at Western AFC. He was solid as a rock in front of the goal-keeper, a gentleman on and off the field and so proud of his family. R.I.P. KenJimmy Duncan
