Ken became a master in carpentry, and was often seen remodeling homes and building various pieces of furniture. Ken built countless dressers, bedroom sets, entertainment units, coffee tables, side tables, kitchen cabinets and so many other unique items. Ken loved to share his passion and knowledge of wood working with others, and was known to volunteer his time when his children or friends needed help with remodeling or a project.
Ken was an avid bowler and was on several bowling teams and leagues. Ken also was a member of the Sir Sam Steel Legion branch 115 for many years.
Ken loved nature and flowers and would spend his spare time planting and maintaining various gardens. Ken also loved attending church, bible studies and communicating with God through song and prayer. Ken was known for his infectious humor, helping others and his kind spirit.

A special thank you to the Morris General Hospital staff and nurses who worked effortlessly to provide the best comfort care to Ken during his final days.
