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!!!

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.

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
