Tribute
Wells in a tribute to the late Kenneth Charles Wells (PJ, 24 February,
p231), NORAH THORNTHWAITE writes:
Ken Wells was much respected as a pharmacist
by colleagues and customers alike. He was always ready to listen to other
people’s troubles and would go to great lengths to comfort and
advise them. His colleagues at Boots, his employers and the staff at
Vane House pharmacy hugely regret his passing. Many of those people have
sent messages to Ken’s family expressing their gratitude.
I am proud to say that Ken Wells was one of my dearest friends, always
cheerful and welcoming. I miss him greatly. For 40 years I have been
privileged to be
a part of the family Ken and his wife Judith created. Ken was enormously proud
of the achievements of their two sons Christopher and Jonathan and was truly
delighted when grandson Daniel came along. He was supportive to his family and
friends, always unselfish and giving even when he was ill. Ken remained positive
and strong throughout the three years of his final illness and is an inspiration
to many.
As Ken was always ready to offer the hand of friendship and loved Sunderland
and its people, his family thought it would be fitting to have a lasting tribute
to Ken’s life. Judith is exploring ways of helping disadvantaged and homeless
people in the Sunderland area. Ken’s family are grateful for the generous
donations (£3,500 to date) received for the Ken Wells Memorial Fund mentioned
in John Jolley’s tribute (PJ, 24 February, p231) along with the many kind
messages and tributes to Ken. He was such an unassuming person he would have
been overwhelmed to realise he had made such a difference to so many lives.
Ken will never be forgotten by those who knew him. As his brother remarked. “Ken
has made an indelible footprint on this world and had a wonderfully successful
life.” |
