He was a graduate of Salamanca High School, Class of 1967.
He worked at B&F Tire for many years. He also worked in construction; at Allegany State Park; bartending; and surveying.
Ken was a wonderful father and enjoyed spending time with friends and family. He loved singing; karaoke; coloring; all sports, especially golf and football; and was an avid Philadelphia Eagles fan.
