Sad news

Postby Northern Lass » Tue Jun 22, 2021 9:55 am

Found out the other day about the death of Ken Johnson
some of you might remember him from the BCC do awhile ago.

I remember him from meeting him at the archives and both of us
looking at the Johnson family much of it is on Bcc thanks to Ken.

A truly wonderful gentleman , wise and such a happy man.
I will remember his stories and his connection to my own family, he was at school
with a rellie of mine.
Will miss you Ken but will remember with fondness our time and delving into
the Johnsons.
xx

Sad to hear the news about Ken. He was such a lovely happy man, a real gentleman, always very smartly dressed and spent many a time having a good chat with him at the archives. Will never forget you Ken.

Oh very sad... :( Rest in peace Ken.
Shame we deleted the photos of the meet ups on BCC! :(
We could have linked up on BCC.
Every person, if they wanted to, could/should have a special place, in an album? On BCC, all involved. Something to think on...

I do apologise for not considering people who are still living, It didn't enter my head! I do know the rules but on this occasion it slipped my mind.

If anyone would like a copy please pm me.

I had never thought either Mally.
No persons names were mentioned and I thought that was ok...
Don't worry, sure all will be fine!
We look a fine, young bunch! :lol: :shock:
We do have a dedicated place on BCC in memory of members who we have sadly lost too!

If you are in touch with the family NL see if they would like a photo added please.
