He was an avid outdoor enthusiast and enjoyed fishing, camping, sports, cooking and woodworking. Besides his wife "Sooz," nothing made him happier than being a dad to his children. He was a true family man in every respect. Ken will be remembered most for his sense of humor and easygoing nature. He was the kind of person who would socialize with anyone and everyone. His kind blue eyes will be sorely missed. His face lit up each weekend when his daughter Katie, his son-in-law MJ and their four sons, Jack, Charlie, Teddy and Henry came to help and share stories of their week with "Grampa." He is survived by his wife, three children, and six grandsons. Also five brothers and a sister in Northern Wisconsin.
