Bonjour Michèle, je suis vraiment désolée d’apprendre le décès de Ken. Ce n’est pas facile de perdre quelqu’un que l’on aime et avec qui on a passé tant d’années… Je pense fort à toi en ces moments difficles et vous présente à tous mes sincères condoléances.
Sincere condolences at this sad time, My son Tom and Jean Francois were friends,and Mr. Wen often inquired when picking up his son at our house, if this was the home of the “chess-nuts”. God Bless.

A very sad loss of a kind, interested and interesting man.
May he rest in peace.
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss, Michèle, JF, Gabrielle and family. My favourite memory of Ken was when you were visiting JF & Gabrielle in Calgary one Christmas about ten years ago and playing a game called Timeline. Ken was amazing, he new his history and could easily beat us all at this game, even correcting some of the dates that the game had wrong. I hope you find comfort in all the wonderful memories and time spent together.
Chere Michele et a toute la grande famille Wen!
Je voudrais vous offrir toutes mes condoleences. Je me souviens de Chung Chi comme etant un homme doux, accueillant et respectueux. Je vous envoie toutes mes sympathies et mon amour, Bisous a la famille
Hello Jean-Francois and family. Saddened to read about the passing of your Dad. I’ll always remember how nice of a man he was and the enjoyment we shared in your home. My condolences to you all.
I would like to extend my sympathy to the Wen family. The Wen’s bought our family home in Sunny Brae. Whenever we would meet they were so friendly. My mother, Evelyn, always enjoyed meeting them and chatting.
