Our Books of Remembrance service brings family and friends, wherever they live in the world, together enabling them to leave a remembrance message and/or light a candle for a loved one. If you have recently lost a loved one - or wish to leave a message for family, friends or neighbours who have recently lost a loved one - you may make your entry into their own Private Book Of Remembrance. These Private Books of Remembrance have been created by the loved one's family.
To check whether a Private Book of Remembrance has been opened you can either click on the Books of Remembrance link in the left hand panel above and browse the listing of Activated Books or use our Search Website facility which will return both Activated and Inactive Books. If you enter only the surname when completing the search fields this will enhance your search results.
When a Book of Remembrance is returned its status is indicated by a small book icon - a red cross indicates that the Book is Inactive and you will be unable to make any entries until the Book Owner, usually the family member responsible for the funeral arrangements, has activated the Book.
If there is no Private Book of Remembrance, normally because the loved one you wish to honour died some time ago or their Private Book of Remembrance has been closed, you may make your entry in the Public Book of Remembrance by clicking on the Light A Candle link.
Remembering Ken Sims
26th November 2008
As historian to www.ekco-radar.co.uk, Ken gave me a vaulable insight to his early work for EKCO Electronics for whom he worked when he left the FAA. He became a valuable member of the EKCO Radar team and he rapidly became the central figure responsible co-ordinating the financial side of the lab activities. He was a key figure in time and money estimates when bidding for new projects and also in keeping track of progress on existing contracts. After the transfer of the business to MEL in 1971 he was the very first member of the team to make effective use of the limited electronic computing that was then available. Altogether a person who lived a full life and he will be missed by the remaining members of EKCO.
