In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
BOOTH, Kenneth - Ken spent his youth and working years in New Westminster. He was proud to be a WWII veteran, serving in the Royal Canadian Navy. He worked for the City of New Westminster Electrical Department for 35 years, retiring in 1984. Shortly after retirement, Ken and his new wife Joyce moved to Langley, where they became avid golfers at Newlands. Ken is survived by his two daughters, Carol (Joel) Schmidt and Colleen Hagen; two stepsons, Peter (Yuki) and John (Caroline) Hall; and five grandsons, Chris and Nate (Laura) Schmidt , Sam (Annelies), Ben (Emily) and Jake (Autumn) Hagen. Ken was predeceased by his parents, Fred and Alice Booth, son-in-law Robert Hagen, first wife Nancy Ogilvie, stepson Darcy Hall and his loving wife of 28 years, Joyce. Ken resided at Avalon in Langley until February 2022, when he returned to his roots in the Royal City. The family would like to thank Dr. Yap and the Age Care staff for their compassionate end-of-life care. At Ken's request, his body will be donated to UBC, and there will be no service.
