Ken proudly served his country in the Air Force National Guard during the 1960s. His professional career included time with the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad before joining General Motors, where he retired after 26 years of service.
A longtime, active member of St. Albert the Great Catholic Church, Ken gave generously of his time to the Men's Club and served as a faithful usher. His commitment to service extended to the Boy Scouts of America for over 30 years. Serving as a Cubmaster, Assistant Scoutmaster, and Unit Commissioner, Ken was eventually honored with the "Silver Beaver," the organization's highest award for distinguished service. Even in retirement, he and Carol continued to volunteer at scout camps together.
At home, Ken could often be found in the garage, meticulously maintaining his beloved Chevrolets. He had a passion for the outdoors, whether he was camping or enjoying cruises with friends and family.
