TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin The passing of Ken Hinrichs

Ken passed recently after years of battling skin cancer. Many of you may have known him as he and his wife Betty spent about six months each year on the island. They had a place in Oyster Pond and after Irma lived at the Yacht Club. Ken and Betty were know as "Mom and Dad" by Seth at the Dingy Dock. They ate breakfast every morning at the Yacht club and were known for bringing their own cushions. Great guy.

May he rest in peace.

Kenneth and Betty were some of the first people we met in St Martin--quite a few years ago. We have become good friends over the years and they are like our "adopted parents"....and yes, he was a great guy. Many know them, but may have never known their names. Just great people all the way around. Kenneth LOVED SXM and the 6 months/year they spent there were the highlight of each of his last few years. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him. RIP, my friend.
