My condolences in your loss. My late father was a co-worker of Ken's at City Hall and had nothing but wonderful things to say about not only how professionally he carried out his job, but also what a wonderful person he was, a true gentleman. In later years dad and I were included in the monthly retiree luncheons which were greatly appreciated. I know how difficult a time like this can be. My heart goes out to you all. Joan Hyde

Ken hired me for my first job following my arrival in Canada in 1970. He was very kind and helped me through some difficult times during my initiation into my new life. I met him again some years later when I had completed my law degree and was articling in London. He expressed his congratulations to me on my achievements and was always there to help if needed. He holds a special place in my memory as one of the first persons I met when I immigrated. I am glad I met him and have those wonderful memories. He will be sorely missed. My condolences to his family and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Charmian Hills

My sympathy to my (first) cousins (once removed). Having read through all the condolences above, especially Cousin Jack's, and having just had a full report from Martyn and Marilyn of Ken's "wonderful send-off" this morning, I'm so happy to have had such a marvelously funny cousin. His laugh is echoing through all the memories as I sit here in quiet. I'm sure he will be greatly missed by you his immediate family; know that the whole extended family will miss him, too. Sending love and prayers, Margaret

My sincere condolences to Ken's children and grandchildren. I have many fond memories of when Ken was at City Hall when my father was there. What a great friendship they had. Ken had a wonderful sense of humour and was so welcoming and warm. I remember many times him sharing stories of his family. He was very devoted to you. Please take comfort from your memories. There is a great crowd welcoming him to heaven...what a party!

Ken- For 2 years you were " my other Half" on daytime and I don't think I have had so much fun as when we worked together. You made me laugh and the rest of the crew so that there were times I wasn't sure that we could keep a straight face on air! I will always remember our fabulous lip sync moment for a United Way fundraiser...you were terrific! I hope that you are teaching everyone how to dance and sing!...Fondly Susan

I have know Ken for many years first as a neighbour and later as city clerk when I had the privilege of working with him at City Hall when I was a Board of Control member. Our relationship continued when he allowed me to help him manage his money. I valued our friendship for his positive outlook on life and his wonderful sense of humour. He will certainly b missed

I have very fond memories of your dad especially when Derek Jarvis was alive... my mom would have the gang over for BBQ's and the house was full of laughter. Ken was the MC at my wedding back in 1993 my inlaws were Quebecors and Ken spoke french in his speech! Everyone was so impressed. Rest in peace Ken you touched many lives . My thoughts are with you Darren, Drew and Cara-Lea...

Thinking of Drew and the entire Sadler family during this difficult time. Russ Horner

My sincere condolences to Ken's family. Ken was the Assistant City Clerk when he hired me to work full time in the Clerk's Office. I always held him in high regard. He demanded perfection in the workplace and I soon learned how important that was when I or anyone had slipped up. He was fair and very kind. I remember once complaining to him about one of the staff I was not getting along with and he told me not to complain to him but that I should go and fight my own battles. That was all I needed to hear and he gave me the courage to stand up for myself. Ken you will be missed. I wish you God speed and may your soul rest in peace.

Our most sincere condolences to Darren, Drew & Carrie, and Cara-Lea, as well as Ken's Grandchildren and all of his family members. Ken will be so sorely missed, not only by his dear family but by all of his friends, former work cohorts and acquaintances. He was one in a million and we were so very fortunate to be a part of his life. He will live on in our hearts forever.

Dear Sadler family. So sorry to hear of Ken's passing. Ken was a good gentle man, and he will be missed by family and friends. Eva and Ole Sindberg

I was blessed to have worked with Ken and to get to know him. Please accept my most heart-felt condolences. Ken and I were instant friends and shared many good times. I will miss his friendship.

Such sad news. Ken was a good friend, he helped so much in the saving and creating of Pride London Festival along with Danny, Mike and myself. He was our communities unsung hero. Time with Ken were always good times and he will be missed. Good journey my friend.

We are saddened to learn of Ken's passing . He will be missed not only by family and friends but by the citizens of London for whom he worked tirelessly . We trust wonderful memories will sustain you in these difficult circumstances .

I am writing on behalf of my Mom, Carol Hier, who worked with Ken at City Hall. She always told me about Ken and how much fun they had at the City. "Oh the fun we had." Please accept our sincere condolences. Ken was loved by many and a wonderful man.

Many years ago I knew Ken - I worked with his dear wife Brenda. His humour and wit have always remained in my mind with very very fond memories. He, like Brenda, has passed way too soon. Condolences to his very much loved children.

The loss of cousin Manley and your sister/my cousin Marjorie. Rest in peace my dear cousin, Jack.

I first met Ken a few years ago when I was singing with the Broadway Singers. I remember one evening we were running through a dress rehearsal in a church. Sometime during the break Ken had fallen and actually broke his hip but not wanting to interrupt the evening he just sat in the pew and watched us finish the second act. In that second act we did a medley from the musical Seussical And in that medley one of singers steps out front and in character sing " why that speck is as small as the head of a pin," I remember looking out at Ken sitting there in pain then when he heard and saw this he just had the biggest smile. Latter that year as he was recovering he was the M C at our final performance of the year at Wolf Hall. That evening show he was on fire. He had people in the audience in tears He was soo funny with his dry humour and sharp wit. That the Ken I knew and that's the Ken I will miss.

What an amazing man I had the sincere pleasure of having in my life over the years. Although our visits were way too few, the time we spent together and the love you showed your Grandaughter Kennedy was undeniably heartfelt and will be sadly missed. I am proud to have had you in my life and will miss you deeply as will Kennedy. Thank you for being such an important part of our lives as family and as a dear friend.

My mind thinks back to when I first met Ken through LMT. How I enjoyed his great sense of wit, humour and his kindness. His Christmas parties were the talk of the theatre crowd and we had endless conversations about travel, gardening and of course theatre. Now, he is with the angels and we are left with a great void in our daily lives.
