He probably wasn't the best dad in the world but he was my only one. I did learn an awful lot from him (especially model related) he had a brain the size of a planet, you give him any sum however complicated he would have the answer before you could type it into a calculator he literally could have done anything it all came so easy to him, which is why he probably turned to drink, he got bored so quickly as an artist he was amazing he tried to sell some of his stuff to a gallery (for money for drink) and was told it's too much like a photograph. I loved my dad for all his faults and he will be sorely missed. Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Thanks rich. Been thinking a lot about my dad today and I don't think I can ever remember him raising a voice or anything to us but we all knew when to do as we were told. He was always a calm and gentle man but was also extremely funny and humerous, I never saw him in a panic over anything and anyone who met him couldn't help but like him. I don't think you would find a single person outside of the family who would have a bad thing to say about him. If it wasn't for the drink he would have been a great dad (and at least he was funnier with drink and not the violent type) man he was such a funny bloke, the soul of a party, he would have everyone laughing. Ken's the name modeling's the game.
