Ken was an avid sports fan. He loved puzzle games of all kinds but specifically crossword puzzles and soduko. From Pavarotti to James Taylor to Garth Brooks, Ken loved music. He had a powerful baritone which he would use to sing along with his favorites; at home, in the car, or at church. 

Ken always saw himself as a teacher and a provider. Later in life he translated that to becoming a deacon for Infant Jesus. He loved being a deacon and served the church community for many years. He loved his wife, his children, and his grandchildren deeply.
