Inscription. Ken Reedy's parents came to Hampton Park in 1918 to take up a soldier settlement farm, part of which is now known as the Huntington Park Estate. He was born in 1929 and all his life played a vital part in establishing Hampton Park as a community.

Ken was honoured in 1983 as Citizen of the Year for his achievements by the Shire of Cranbourne. He has continued to devote his energy to many projects with the Hampton Park Progress Association which made him a life member.

An inaugural member of the Hampton Park CFA he was awarded the Queen's Medal in 1974. Ken is a past president and a life member of the CFA he served for 50 years.

Ken's interest in opportunities for youth involved him in the development of the First Hampton Park Scouts and the building of their hall.

He was a member of the committees for the Hampton Park Primary and Doveton North Technical Schools, as well as the establishment of the Uniting Church in the District.

Now as a life member, his passion for football saw him as a player with Hampton Park, and many players saw him on the South West Gippsland Tribunal.

Affectionately known among footballers
