Ken was a man who loved his family and worked hard all his life. He is remembered
fondly by many, as a man generous with his time, knowledge and one who could be counted on to help at any time. He moved to Arkansas after his retirement, where he became active in a role at the volunteer fire department, the man with ''the'' crane truck and could fix just about anything.
He was loved by many and will be missed by all.
