Kenneth Vernon Stubbings

Always so heartwarming to see Ken and Lynne as they were so much fun and we shared some good times together - at parties mostly related to the daycare - anytime I would run into them we always had such a good chat - all I can say Lynne is I hope that Ken is able to share some of those "special goodies" with wherever he is now - and just know whenever I see those treats, you both will always be in my heart - big big hugs to you Lynne - Hallie Gibson (from Collingwood) xoxoxo

Lynn, the Stubbings and the Perdues... my heartfelt sympathy on the loss of one so dear as Ken. I knew Ken from my days in H&S for the City of Toronto. He was an astute champion of safety practices, procedures and policies which made life more liveable for his work friends and colleagues. He openly shared his knowledge and visons with those of us who knew him from OHMSPA. May your memories of Ken brighten your darkest days...he's flying safely with the angels now. RIP Ken, your H&S friend, Chandra

This was a day shared at Lynn's with Karen and Rosemary. A cold somber day Heading to Lynn and Ken's We have a plan I would love it any other way. But this is how our day began. As we enter a beautiful driveway A comment is said "Well here we are"!! Then look at each other Gaze at the house From the car. As we enter, you feel welcome Although much silence Is all we hear. A faint "hello" But no one is there. I feel uneasy, As l tiptoe through This beautiful home Made just for two. We gather the photo books Each of us expressing An awwwwww And a sigh. Page by page We share an emotional look I feel a tear I wanna cry. Oh the stories These pages tell It's a LOVE STORY Displayed so well. It's hard to pick and choose We all have our favorite No choice is wrong We cannot loose. As we display the photos on boards For all to see. I am taken back How can this be? A life so perfect HE HAS HER!!! SHE HAS HE!!! I glance around the room My eyes full of gloss These treasures, these pleasures This is truly, an unbelievable loss. Stainglass, and his carvings A life shining through Oh my Lord What can l do? My eyes are focused On a corner cabinet Of figurines. Oh my heavens What a story So serene. Little Precious Moments Each a gift of love ❤️. Each unique as if the Lord created Precious moments from above. I Smile for the 1st time today. As l touch the cabinet glass. I suddenly feel a tear Then l ask? Why is that God's greatest gift The gift of Love ❤️ Hurts so bad ? When we have our Person Our life companion He's all l had. Then l am once more taken back To the Precious Moments Not only figurines PRECIOUS MOMENTS Are moments!! The best you've Ever seen. Remember your 1st Love ,first dance!! How he held you That shy loving glance. Remember your wedding day Joyful bliss A promise of Love ❤️ Sealed with a kiss. Your careers You were both so proud of Your 1st home Blessed with love 44 yrs - you were 15 Your handsome boy 17 You knew from the start. This is the real deal I feel in my heart!!. Life showed you many adventures With travel undenied You began your pace slow Ken so happy you tried. He never left your side. Each run faster than the 1st. Your smile contagious From the beginning A life shared hand in hand Ken & Lynn Lynn& Ken You were destined to be A 1st place Ribbon of love. A life of winning. Still staring at the Precious moments Silently whispering to the Lord As l speak. This moment l wanna keep!. Bless my Family, and friends Hug the ones you Love ❤️ And at the end of day LIFE IS A PRECIOUS MOMENT Cherish all time!! We miss you Ken Dear Lord. Take a run with Ken Make his day. Heavenly Father I Pray 🙏 Memories of Ken His life and generosity will live on in each and every one of us. This wonderful man was a pleasure to know. Nov6/2023 Tribute to Ken Stubbings Left us way to soon Nov3/2023. Love ❤️ Beverly.

DEDICATION TO "KEN" HIS LOVE & OUR LOVE FOR LYNN If this is a dream I never sleep But, l cannot wake up Like an envelope With no letter Unforeseen words This thought over whelms As l imagine The storyline l have missed A blank greeting card Then shared memories All to familiar Sincerely yours Blessed with a kiss. How does one, or all Fathom a reality That truly has shaken Our souls? A wonderful couple Worked so hard For that fulfillment Contentment Their time for happy pleasures And future goals. These goals live on in Each and everyone of us We are honored to own Their treasures A wooden carving Perhaps a stainglass snowman Betcha everyone share In these pleasures LYNN & KEN !!!! You mention LYNN You get KEN You mention KEN Where's LYNN? Our youngest sister Yes the baby!! Dad said it best "YOU'RE ONLY A BIRD" You need us? Family 1st Just say the word. We all knew KEN For his amazing Love for the run Always a smile No matter the distance His motto!! Do it for the cause Do it for the fun Lynn enjoyed the run As they started side by side Even if KEN sprinted ahead Always at the finish line Arms extended wide. I sit in wonder,and in awwww It's difficult to carry on The emotion , over whelming We were all embraced xmas 2022 Wishing a wonderful New Year ✨️ " This is just wrong "!!!! As l see everyone I can't imagine A dry eye For our little bird 🐦 Her smile infectious Her strength noble With love from family and friends And all the wonderful Things she has heard. Lynn once told me In one of our many conversations KEN is worried about me What will happen to me? Yes ,he is a true gentleman With care for his lady His physical body so weak His love so true and honest We pray 🙏 Let it be. I prayed many a days On my way to work Decades of the Rosary 📿 Rosary beads hanging in my car Then l would catch A cloud or two As l gazed up And l wondered Just how far? Do my words reach the heavens ? Are family peeking through? The mysteries Far beyond our imagination I speak to family often I like to think They already knew Pain-free, It a beautiful bright day You can do it Smile on your face Ken as you begin Your new chapter Your running shoes In place... A marathon Beyond your wildest dreams Get ready set go Faster, faster now Pace yourself slow Slow slow slower With a chirp in his ear Silent whispering words I miss you, I love ❤️ you my dear. This can't be true A little bird You're only a bird On my shoulder For the ride. I know she's Make belief But a blessing In disguise. KEN'S love for LYNN Undeniable The real deal How Blessed It proved in their work Their fun, So many wonderful years True love is not a test. Lynn Please know as you Too begin a new Chapter in life.

My condolences to his family and friends. I knew Ken for many years he was known and respected by many of us in his field as a reserved spoken, but a master. You could see his passion for his work and hobbies in every conversation. He will be greatly missed. Derrick Stein

Oh Lynn, my heart goes out to you on the loss of Ken! It doesn't surprise me that his determination, which he brought to everything, marathons/ carving/quality/ care/safety etc gave him a bit more time to spend with you, the love of his life! I cherish him each season when we bring out the little father Christmas sleigh & reindeer which he selflessly donated, through a "guess my best average times of many fall marathons" to the Y's Strong Kids programme! I will think of him fondly and continue to carry his spirit forward in his honour. I am indeed thankful that you got to have 44 years together. And I am a better person for having known him!

My deepest condolences to Lynn and family. I was a running friend of Ken’s for many years and like many, lost touch unfortunately. But I will always remember Ken and his positive motivation and inspiration when we were marathon training and running together. Truly a fine person.

Lynn, so very sorry to hear of Ken’s passing, you’re in our thoughts at this difficult time

I am so sad to here the news of Ken's passing. I worked with him closely with emergency planning while I was employed with the County. He was so thorough with his preparation and execution of the mock exercises. The residents of Northumberland were in a better place with Ken's preparation. I have a hand carved stained glass wood frame he made in memory of my daughter which we will cherish forever. Dam Collins EMS Chief (retired)

Lynn I have just read your lovely tribute to Ken and my heart just aches for you. I can’t imagine the loss you must feel in having lost your best friend of 44 years. Having lived in Cobourg all my life I have had many encounters with you both over the years through the Y, various sporting and other events. It seemed that you two were pretty much inseparable always spending time together enjoying life. I used to see Ken on my morning runs and I could never catch him! Ken leaves behind a legacy that not many others could achieve. Hold tight to those wonderful memories in your heart forever. I will be thinking of you. Sending hugs.

Our very deepest condolences to you Lynn at this very sad time. Hang on to the multiple memories you shared together. Love to you, Joan and Jim Graham
