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

Re: Sad news
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.

Re: Sad news
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...

Re: Sad news
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.

Re: Sad news
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!
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.
