Ken and Edith were a big part of the lives of their nieces and nephews and enjoyed going on trips to Asilomar with their family and friends. They were also dedicated to being a part of their grandchildren's lives and took pride in watching them grow. Ken loved spending time with friends, going to community events, golfing, bowling, rock hounding, taking fishing trips, going to dance classes, and being part of the WLA community. Ken will be lovingly remembered by his wife Edith (66 years married), sons Mark and Peter, five grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, many nieces and nephews, and sister-in-law Barbara Taniguchi.
