Our oldest sponsor Ken Goodman (New Zealand) died peacefully on Monday 6th July 2009.  Ken is pictured above celebrating his 97th birthday on the 23rd February 2009.

A pedagogue by training and nature, Ken endeared himself to many in his latter years in Auckland.  Constantly learning, he was always amazed at what he could discover on Google, a technology he adopted in his late 80’s. One of Ken’s singular triumphs was passing his driver’s licence for his 96th birthday.

He bequeathed his body to medical science.

Sadly missed by Roger (son), Hilary (daughter-in-law), grandsons, Nicholas Christopher and Jonathan, and the many, many people whose lives he touched during his long and distinguished life.

Ken had been sponsoring Bahati Sadiki in Standard/Class 4 since 2005.  In 2008, Ken arranged to secure the commitment he made to sponsor Bahati’s education at St Jude’s by entrusting her sponsorship to his son Roger.

The St Jude's community extends its condolences to Ken's family and friends.
