'HE was my hero, always had a smile on his face, and was the fairest man I ever met.'

These are the farewell words from a loving son to well-known York businessman Ken Garland who has died aged 87.

Ken died peacefully in York Hospital on April 24. His funeral will take place on Wednesday.

He leaves behind a large family - he had eight children from two marriages: Stephen, Lesley, Paul, Andrew, Chris, Liz, Richard and Tim - and his widow Sue. He also had 17 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren but also many friends and colleagues from the world of business and the many charities which were close to his heart.
