We sadly mark the passing of VGA Life Member Ken Marriott, remembered as a born leader,” a colossus of a man, a man of integrity, straightforwardness, simplicity, honesty and dignity, with a no nonsense no fuss attitude“. Ken applied much of his considerable energy and talents to the benefit of others, working hard for his family and all Victorian vegetable growers, we have much to be grateful for. Some of Kens many contributions include:
Ken was born and raised on his fathers market garden at Bentleigh before working his own farm at Heatherton from 1955 till 1971. You can learn if you listen In retirement, Ken worked at the Wholesale Market 3 days/week from 5 am till midday for the VGA. Ken also helped as a vendor for many grower members whilst they were absent on holidays or because of Illness. Ill pick you up Ill take you there Memories of Ken as a kind, good natured, generous and hardworking man will remain with us forever.
