It is with great sadness & loss that we hear of Ken's passing, on behalf of myself and the ryal Bush team we would like to pass on our sincere condolences to family & friends. Ken was well thought of by his team mates, he always had a joke or something witty to say, there was never a dull moment when you were around Ken. Fly high now brother Ken, rest easy.

So sad to hear this news. You taught me heaps back in the days of Tulloch, your smile, your words and that hearty laugh of yours. To see you carting on the wharf you always made my shifts enjoyable! You will be greatly missed my friend. You were all about family especially you tamariki! Fly free now my friend. My thoughts are with your family and friends at this time. R.I.L. Trucking forever now xXx
