Ken worked as a welder before retiring in 2007, and in his retirement, enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, making breakfast for them, walking them home from the bus stop, and watching hours of Spongebob Squarepants and the Wiggles with them.

He was a fruitcake enthusiast, a talented artist, and an all-around interesting human being, able to offer many anecdotes about a life well-lived.
