Title: Sad News.
Post by: Jeff Norwell on 2017-01-24 06:08
My friend Ken Heaslip of Brantford Ontario has passed.I think Ken may have been a member here...not sure... and he may have just lurked around.
Ken owned a body shop and Ford dealership...(Across the street from one another)... last year he was crossing the street and was hit by an 18 wheeler.
He was in serious shape.... bound to a wheel chair and was paralyzed from the neck down.His life was not so fine and fought a good fight.
Ken just passed over the weekend.He loved 57 fords but was a crazy horsepower nut.
His car might have been posted on here.


I will miss Ken
Rest easy buddy.

Best thoughts to his family and friends.

I remember that you did a great 'toon of his car, right?

Thanks guys.I did this thread maybe because he might have had correspondence with other members and they may not be aware.

I hated to hear that, saw it on FB.  Ken had sent me the photos that were done in the photoshoot right after he received them, a couple months before they appeared in any magazines...very cool  I sure do hate to hear of his passing, sadder that I never heard about his accident.  What a tragedy, rest easy, Ken.
