Ken was a Structural Fuselage Design Engineer on B-58, F-111 and F-16 Aircraft.

In support of F-16 co-production, he traveled the world over. Ken loved baseball and played one season in the Big State League until an injury ended his baseball career.

Ken was a wonderful and thoughtful neighbor. I will miss our chats over the fence talking about dogs, fishing and our lawns. Ken was a gentle man with great love for his wife.
