A carpenter by trade for 45 years, Ken also worked at BICC General Cable (Anaconda) for 30 years, working from January 1966 to March 1997. Ken was recognized by plant management in 1984 as a man that takes great pride in his work, maintains a positive attitude, and has always performed any task asked of him. This is not only what makes him an excellent carpenter but also an excellent friend.'
Ken enjoyed Golfing at Arbor Trace and Shady Hills, hunting, fishing, and carpentry. Through the years, Ken would start his day at 5:30 am to meet friends for coffee and get valuable community news at Bolner's Grist Mill, Vogel's, and Meijer's.
