Title: Ken Coleman
Post by: sihinch on September 21, 2022, 12:42:49 PM
I'm deeply sorry to say that I learned Ken Coleman passed away on Monday.

Ken was an amazing modeler, a generous friend and talented racer.

Here are some details of his funeral.

Sad news.

We've lost a truly enthusiastic model airplane builder and flyer.

Such sad news. 
Ken was an enthusiastic modeller.  He built amazing little indoor foam RC airplanes. 
In Pilot's Meetings his explanations how he made them were hilarious. 
He always downplayed his abilities and enthusiastically complimented fellow members no matter how poorly built our models looked.

In the group masthead photo on the TEMAC website, Ken is in the black Aussie hat in the middle of the back row, two behind Michael kneeling in the front row.  Just to the right of Bill Quantock (second row, yellow baseball hat with a big smile).

Happy flying Ken.  We will miss you.

Ken was an artist, a teacher, master builder, great pilot and friend. He helped me on numerous occasions, sorting out some balsa models that needed work.

Condolences to his family, friends and all who knew him. You will be missed my friend.

I regret that my condolences come so late but I have to say the modelling community lost a soldier in my eyes. 

Ken was always so talented, full of energy and showed interest in anything that flew.  Always willing to talk of techniques and a master builder in both flight performance and to the eye.

Im sure many will agree that his presence will be missed
