Hi, Peri. I think my brother has one of your Dad’s pen & ink like this one.
My Dad, Harold Hare, worked at Simpson’s too but as an optometrist, and used to take the train with your Dad. My husband, Larry, remembers your Dad riding his bike from the train past the Q.E.W.
Your Dad sketched both my parents’ home in downtown Port Credit before it was demolished (we have that original), and my grandparents’ home in Clarkson. which my cousin has. I also bought your Dad’s drawing of Tower Bridge in London, England.
I also have a small sketch of a sitting duck done by your Mom. Looks like it’s in pencil crayon.
We have enjoyed these art works for over 50 years!!!
Hello Margaret,
Thank you so much for your interesting comment. My late father thought the world of your father, Harold Hare, and trusted him completely. Ken’s eyes were difficult, and a source of great frustration to him, but he thought of your father as the one person who could help with his vision, and, as I remember, also thought of him as a trusted friend as well. It means a lot to me that you and your family continue to enjoy some of my parents’ work. Yes, for many years my father bicycled home all the way uphill, usually juggling shopping bags full of books and sketching supplies. That started during the war when gas was rationed. By coincidence, my younger son and his wife bought a house just west of Clarkson, near the Rattray Marsh, and have happily raised their family there. Thank you so much for letting me know. I am touched and encouraged by your reaching out to me, and I know my parents would have been as well.
Hello Margaret
We have one of Ken’s ink on paper (Queen Street in Toronto) and like to insure it as part of our collection. It is in mint shape and the image measures 31.3 cm x 49.2 cm. What value do you recommend

Thank you ….Ron de Boer
Hello Ron,
Thank you for your interest in my father’s art. Unfortunately I am not in a position to evaluate my parents’ work.
All the best,
Peri
