After watching the service online, if you can leave a guest message to let the family know you have joined into the service, that would be greatly appreciated.
Dear Ingrid, Michael, Kirsten and James
So sorry to hear the news today by letter some months after the event. It was a lovely service and beautifully delivered eulogy from Michael. I will always remember Ken and the whole family’s friendship to me while I was studying for my Ph.D in the Geography Dept of Aberdeen University. We all met at St James Church Episcopalian Church where I was persuaded to join the choir. I shared many happy meals with you all and was lucky enough to join for a weekend at the Crathes cottage! I will always remember Ken’s kindness and hearty laugh. May he rest in peace. With love from Belinda
Dear Ingrid
What a beautiful service for your lovely and loving husband Ken. We were so pleased to be able to share it even at such a distance.
Our last memories of Ken will be of the companionship on that lovely summer day at Fiona’s Jubilee Party.
Seeing you all hand in hand walking quietly with Ken for those final moments is very moving.
It’s lovely to think of you all together as a family sharing the comfort of the many wonderful memories of your long blessed and eventful life together .
Michael portrayed such a wonderful tribute to his father .
We hope you’re all well and recovering from the trauma of these last hard months
We were most grateful for the opportunity to share with you all, his family and friends, in this tribute to your loved one and our dear friend, Ken. Thank you for making the video available for us to watch, which we found deeply affecting. We are indebted to Michael for his eulogy given on behalf of you all and, no doubt like many others, have learned new and memorable facts about Ken’s past achievements, about the things he loved and the life he lived so well. Our hearts go out to dear Ingrid and the whole family, young and older alike. We count it a privilege to be included as friends and we join with you in thanking God for the one we yet love but see no longer – the one who has fallen asleep with Christ and will rise with us in glory.
Dearest Ingrid,
I’m so glad I could share in the service for Ken even though you are such a long way away.
I send my sincere condolences to you and all the family.
May God bless you as you grieve for Ken and much love,
Margaret. (Kendal)xx
Thank you for sharing Ken’s service, it was so good to see you all and listen with you. We remember Ken with great pleasure, his and Ingrid’s hospitality was outstanding. We send much love to you all and think of you often.
Sincere condolences to Ingrid, Michael, Shirley, Xavier and the entire family on the passing of Ken whom we met not long ago and enjoyed a cup of tea together.
Our prayers are with you all. May Ken’s soul rest in peace ✝️
Thank you for sharing the service.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful service with us. We have so many happy memories of Ken, from weddings, birthdays, graduations – and as the heart of an exceptionally warm, wonderful and welcoming family who have been there for us for so many years, and who we miss and send our fondest love to at this sad time. Ken never seemed to be happier than when friends and family surrounded the Page dining table and we remember with gratitude all the open-hearted hospitality and fun of those lovely evenings at Newburgh Road, which felt like a second home to us. Everyone should know a man like Ken, and we were lucky to have had him in our lives. Thinking of you all, big hugs and fortitude for the sadness that must be so acute just now.
Although I never had the pleasure of meeting this great man, I learnt from Michael’s interesting
eulogy, that here was a man who lived life to the full and left something behind that we all can
emulate. May Ken’s soul rest in eternal peace.
Kæreste Ingrid,
Hvor ville jeg gerne have været med. Jeg sad parat. Men på din mail er skrevet, at det ville starte 12:30 DK tid. Jeg er så ked af, at der er en misforståelse – og at jeg derfor ikke var der.
Tror du, at jeg kan være én af dem, du sender optagelsen til?
Jeg sender dig og din familie mine alle varmeste tanker.
Tak fordi du er i mit liv.
Jeg ønsker dig alt det bedste!
Bodil
Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss!
Although I did not know Kenneth I felt very sad yesterday when I woke up to the news of the demise of your dear spouse and father!
I am so grateful that I did get the chance to interact and correspond with Kenneth due to his investigation of his dear Ingrid`s herritage, the von Tangen family! For me Kenneth stood out as a man of honor; respectful, kind, qurious, and always willing to help those around him! I would also like to give praise to Michael`s wonderful eulogy- thank you for letting me get to know your father this way <3 !
Whenever I have lost one of my loved ones I like to think of them as they are now having a great time up in the sky, fully enjoying what Heaven are offering whether it`s cigars, whisky, football matches or solid meals. I indeed hope that your dear father and spouse are now enjoying all the things he enjoyed whilst being here at Earth.
Thank you Ingrid, Michael, Kirsten and James, for letting the rest of us take part in this beautiful ceremony <3 !
The Reverend Dr Ray Cleary conducted a beautiful service. Both Michael and James spoke with such dignity and affection.
Ken and Ingrid were my first and the best of friends on my arrival at Aberdeen . We have many shared memories of their immense kindness to our family. Through Ken’s introduction I became the secretary of the University Royal Naval Unit, which gave me over 20 years of interesting and very enjoyable work. Ken was always highly regarded by all members of the unit . Both David and I are grateful to have had their friendship and send our love to the whole family.
The sudden demise of your family member and dear friend in St James, Aberdeen, saddens me. Ken was greatly loved and respected. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
Dear Ingrid, Kirsten, Michael, James, Xavier and all the family
I’m sending you all my love and thoughts for today and the days ahead. Ken’s funeral was beautiful. I enjoyed the Eulogy from Michael…interesting, informative and witty…just as Ken would have wanted!
I loved the description of your dad sitting reading in a haze of cigar smoke Michael…I know it’s been many years, but I too will always remember smelling the sweet smoke from Ken’s cigar and hearing the unmistakeable sound of his laughter! So perhaps Michael and James (and Anthony) could raise a glass whisky and perhaps even share a cigar, for old times sake…
Sending Ingrid and all the family much love,
Trish xxx
Dear Ingrid, I have watched Ken’s funeral service and want to let you know my heart goes out to you. My deepest sympathy to you and the family. Love and blessings from Thelma.
From everyone at Isobel Cottage. Thank you for including us in Ken’s farewell service. Everyone participated well & Michael did a splendid job. Ken would have been proud.
The minister was so relaxed & warm. All in all a wonderful & moving celebration of Ken’s life.
God be with you all. Comfort one another.

Ken was a great friend, colleague and mentor to me for the thirty years I knew him in Aberdeen. We researched together, taught together and laughed a lot throughout that time. I have many fond memories which I will cherish going forwards. He was a kind, smart and highly intelligent gentleman. I will miss him dearly. Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss.
What a beautiful service and wonderful to hear of all Ken’s wonderful achievements, loves and contribution. Very inspiring.Love to you all and peace in your hearts at the time.
Our thanks to Reverend Dr Ray Cleary and the Page family for such a beautiful and poignant service for such an inspirational, jovial and devoted figure in our lives. Whilst he will be missed hugely by us all, we are grateful for his presence in our lives. Farewell and rest in peace as God’s light shine upon you always.
Ken, you will be greatly missed. A true force of nature. A mentor, a friend, a colleague and a very respected scientist. Ken guided me through my early academic career, and I was always sure I could turn to Ken for wise and fair counsel, and I benefitted greatly from his sympathetic ear and encouraging words. He had a great sense of humour and always saw the positives of any situation. His level head was a great benefit to many a situation at work. After retirement, I looked forward to his annual Christmas letter, setting out his mammoth trips and exploits as he and Ingrid trekked around the globe to see their far-flung family. I marvelled at his energy and enthusiasm for life, throughout his life. A pleasure to know, a wise and true friend. Someone I always looked forward to meeting again, to be regaled with equal enthusiasm by memories and new stories. You will be sorely missed, Ken. Rest in peace. Love and condolences to Ingrid and family at this sad time.
Dear Ken, my brother. In the Lord
I will miss that happy smiling face at synod, also the enigmatic humour, that often enlightened those whose intellectual humour was on a par with yours.
Your many years on this earth, were never wasted, from your very strong Christian beliefs, to the dedication in finding rare and valuable books, not forgetting Ton
class, mine sweepers in the Royal Navy.
None of the above success would have been achieved, had you not had the temerity to ask your beautiful Ingrid to be your bride, mother of your children and soul mate,.
Ken you were a constant joy, I thank the Lord for the few years of friendship.
Rest Ye well handsome man Rest ye well
