He was devoted to his English springer spaniel, Emilee.  Ken was fond of people and always greeted everyone with a smile and kind words.  He made many friends in school, the places he lived, and also where he worked.  He loved to go fishing and traveling to many places around the states and the world.  He was entertained by Walt Disney characters, movies and “Winnie the Pooh”.  He took pleasure in visiting the pet cemetery near his apartment.

He had a love for music and in the summertime he enjoyed the programs at the Roseville Big Band Frank Rog Amphitheatre.  He took pleasure in playing the trumpet, singing, and dancing.
