It is with sadness that we must pass on the news that Ken Dworak, a long-serving volunteer at the Museum, died recently, after a short illness with cancer.
Ken volunteered at the Museum for over ten years, operating the Print Shed at the back of the Cast Iron Houses. He printed numerous materials, including countless carrier bags for the shops, cinema posters, and more recently, posters for the 1940s weekends. His knowledge and enthusiasm for the print shed were much appreciated across the Museum. Ken also volunteered on Wednesdays with the Collections team, helping us catalogue objects, audit stores, conservation cleaning and helping us decorate the site at Christmas. He was a valued member of the Wednesday Collections volunteer team team and a lovely, friendly person to work with. He will be very much missed.
Ken’s funeral will be held at Gornal Wood Crematorium on Wednesday 3 July at 9.40am.
