Ken Sack Obituary
Ken was born on July 26, 1950 in Manhattan, the son of Carl and Marie (Flanary) Sack. He attended Manhattan Catholic Schools and graduated from Msgr. Luckey High School with the class of 1968. He then attended Manhattan Area Technical College and earned his degree in HVAC, graduating in 1970.
Ken worked at Kansas State University starting in 1978, first in facilities doing air conditioning and maintenance, and then from 1989 until 2016 he was a research assistant and an electronic technician in the biology department. When he transferred to biology he repaired and maintained their lab equipment such as their electron microscope, autoclaves and water filtration systems. He also helped in multiple labs. He retired after 39 years at KSU. He also worked and taught classes at AIB in Manhattan for many years.
He was a social guy who always had a good joke to tell. He would be seen at the Senior Center and the Community Meals, always visiting and wanting to talk with others. Ken volunteered with the Boy Scouts and also for a period of time with BeAble in Manhattan.
Ken is survived by his good friend Melissa Perez of the home. He is also survived by his many family members and friends, all who will miss seeing Ken and sharing stories with him.
