Just a few weeks before their wedding, Ken was hired by Consolidated Papers, Wisconsin River Division.  He retired at the age of 60 after 36 years with the company.  During that time, he also worked part-time bartending for his uncle at Athletic Bar on Maria Drive.  Ken enjoyed watching the Green Bay Packers, playing cards, and the occasional trip to a casino. He and Alice traveled to and through 48 of the 50 states on tours with the Jerry Goetsch Polka Band.  Most important of all, was his Catholic faith and the love for his family.
