Ken lived in Audubon Park for over 65 years. He worked for New Jersey Bell for 30 years retiring in 1986. He was a member of the New Jersey Bell Pioneers and Audubon Park Fire Company. Ken had a unique wit and will be remembered for his timeless tidbits of advice and classic one-liners. He loved his travel-time with Mary Jane, especially their trips to London. His hobbies were collecting antiques, day trips to Atlantic City, Cape May and Cowtown. He will be remembered for refurbishing birdhouses and gifting them to family and friends.
Beside Mary Jane, Ken's greatest joy in life was his grandchildren. He loved going to their sporting events, reading to them when they were younger and spending time with them. He was a very proud grandpop.
Services for Kenneth will be held privately at the request of his family.
