It is my first Christmas,not saying to you a merry Christmas,however my thoughts do not stop me thinking about you, so you will always be with me. I love you dad, merry Christmas. Amanda,Mick and the kids
Ken had friends and family all over the world. I created this website for all of those who knew and loved him to share pictures and stories of his life so that we can forever keep his memory alive.
He is survived by:
His wife, Jan
His childrens mum, May
His children, Amanda, Margaret and Alan
His stepchildren, Peter and Jenny
His grandchildren, Harley, Spencer, Alexandria, Olivia, Kennedy, Jack and Alfie
And lost but never forgotten, Conner (1993-2002)
His American grandchildren, Skylar and Camelia
Brother and sisters, Barbara, Brenda and Jimmy
His Auntie and stepmum Lois, Auntie Margaret and Auntie Brenda
We are holding a Celebration of Life for Ken in Jacksonville on Sunday, February 8th from 3-6pm at the Outback Pub on Mayport Road in Jacksonville.This is the pub where I worked and met him and where everybody loved him. I think this is what he would have liked. We hope you will join us if you can.
In lieu of flowers, you can contribute to a "Fun Fund" for his grandchildren. He has 7 in England and 2 in America- he adored his grandchildren and we know he would be so happy to do something fun for all of them to remember their Granddad and Papa. You can send a contribution to Jan Mauch-Bradford, P.O. Box 331152, Atlantic Beach, FL, 32233 or Paypal (grandkidsfunfund@hotmail.com.) We'll post information soon about how to contribute in the U.K.
-Jan
THANK YOU so much to all that contributed to the grandchildrens fund. I took the money and had Remembered Things make all 9 grandchildren very special gifts that they should cherish in the memory of their Grandad and Papa. Again myself and the family thank everyone for their kind words to all of us during this very sad and hard time.

I so miss you, it was all just so unfair. Maybe someday I will understand better. Your love , with mine, will always be one. I'm so hoping that you are watching over me. I need to know your there for me when I need strength to carry on. People tell me you are, I have to believe that is true. I didn't really get to say good-bye, so I won't, just see you later my love. My everlasting love, jan

It's saddens me to hear about kenny I've been thinking what to put I've found a quote today which I've adapted to suit this tribute to him " the hands of time keep turning as the years they come and go some things may change forever but one thing I'll always know no matter where life took us in all the years that passed we'll both live through our children and grandchildren and life will still go on through these generations" god bless you Kenny you know the saying one light goes out and a new light begins I'd like to say since Kenny's passing we have become grandparents to another baby girl called blossom on the 20th of march which is also our daughters birthday. I'd like to send my deepest sympathy and thanks to Jan and her family
Love may x

I was so happy when my brother Kenneth got in touch last summer and our phone calls since then are now even more precious. I have always described my little brother as a very lovable rogue - a character as a boy and as a man. My sympathy to Jan, who I know made him very happy and much loved. Wishing I could have said goodbye, your loving sister, Barbara x

God,where do I start
I'm not going to leave any memories as there's too many to pick. All I can say is that you did good for a fisherman from Fleetwood. Your work took you all over the world.Some places only people would dream of going to. I was so proud when you come home and told us where you have been and what you have been doing,but most of all I was proud that I could call you dad. I will miss you and I love you and always will until we meet again night night god bless you my dad
Love you lots Amanda xx

I remember when Uncle Kenny got his first car when I was about 7. He was so proud of it. Although it was old, it was polished to a high shine. He took me outside to sit in it. After a while, it was past my bed time and my Mum came to see what was going on. She found us both giggling at some silly joke. Two cheeky little boys together - despite one of us being in our twenties at the time! That cheeky little boy never quite left Uncle Kenny and that was part of what made him such a character. RIP - fondly remembered.

Great sense of humour our Kenny and always up to something,he had a wide variety of jobs but I remember once he told me he was a window cleaner and he was wary of dogs,anyway he checked the backyard no pooch so up the ladder he went cleaned the window and when he got to the bottom of the ladder he got bit by a RABBIT.
R.I.P Kenny another one gone far to soon,
Condolences from all the Blade family.

Ken was truly generous person always ready to share good time around a Buddington. I really enjoyed the time we spent with the family in the Bahamas, New Orleans and Boston... We'll all miss you.

I recall growing up in our house that the most common conversation started “What’s Kenny done now?” He seemed constantly to be in some scrape or another. When my Dad, his Uncle Bill, passed away last year he asked me to place a bottle of Dimple Scotch Whisky in the casket. Dad had been given a bottle which he thought remained untouched as he was never a whisky drinker. Eventually it was discovered that someone had been helping themselves to it sip by sip over time. The blame immediately fell on to teenager Kenny - he couldn’t deny it for long. However, my Mum, his Auntie Lois, always says that she couldn’t stay cross with him for long when all he needed to do was smile at her. RIP dear cousin.
