Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for our community. You’ve touched so many lives. Your contributions to healthcare have been enormous so thank you! I also want to thank you for everything including the things that you have done for individuals in our community like setting up a tent for my friend’s memorial or installing a bed for my friend who broke her back. There’s way too many thank you’s to say. Enjoy retirement. It’s very well deserved!

Ken and Karin? Thanks for all of your support of our community. I know that you’ve both done so much. Karin thanks for reining him in whenever you were able. I remember when I came there once with my hand out for charity and Kenny said, “Write her a cheque and get her out of our damn store.” My only regret is that if it was that easy I should have asked for more! Thanks 😊 again you are both valuable assets to our community!!!

Congratulations to you both on your retirement!
We wanted to take a moment to truly thank you for the wonderful years you have dedicated to this community. For so long, you have stood as leaders for all of us to see, setting the standard for what it means to support and show up for Cranbrook.
It is honestly hard to find the right words to describe the leadership you’ve shown. Your tireless and dedicated efforts—both in your business and throughout the community—have left an impact that won't soon be forgotten. We can’t say enough how valuable you both are to this town, but now, it is finally time for your reward.
After so many years of being pillars of the community and just overall great human beings, you have earned every bit of the relaxation ahead. We wish you nothing but the absolute best in this next chapter, and we know that even in retirement, you will continue to do great things for everyone here.
With respect and gratitude,
Brandon and Jess

Dear Ken & Karin,

Congratulations on your well-earned retirement!

Your years of hard work, generosity, and dedication—both through your business and your countless contributions to the community—have truly made a lasting impact. No act of kindness was ever too big or too small for you, and that’s something so many people, including us, will never forget.

You’ve always been there when it mattered most, and we feel incredibly lucky to call you our friends. We’re so excited for you as you embark on this next chapter in your lives—one filled with good health, relaxation, happiness, time with family and friends. It’s time to enjoy everything you both worked so hard for.

Wishing you both all the very best in this new adventure.

With love

Ken & Karin,

What you’ve given over the years – your time, your energy, and your commitment to this community – doesn’t go unnoticed. It’s made a real difference, and it’s something people will carry with them for years.

Now it’s your turn to slow things down a bit and enjoy what’s ahead. We hope your days are filled with time at the lake, great trips, and all the moments that come with being surrounded by family, grandchildren, and good friends.

Wishing you both an incredible retirement!

Chris & Julie
