Ken owned his own business. The proud owner of a company in the marketing and sales of hardware to a prominent home improvement retailer for many years. After retiring, Ken loved being outdoors working in the yard (especially while operating his tractor), throwing the ball for his rescue Sheppard, Missy", having snacks out on the boat or preparing everyone's favorite smoked tenderloin or homemade "gravy".
