An active member of the community and a lifetime parishioner of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, Maria Stein; he served as a lector, a member of the finance board, a CCD teacher, and was the first lay person to serve as President of the St. Marys deanery. As a member of the Knights of St. John Uniform Rank, he achieved the status of General of the Noble Degree, served as Finance Officer, and on the scholarship committee.

Ken was instrumental in starting the Boy Scouts in Maria Stein, served as Cub Master for many years, and assisted many Scouts in achieving their Eagle Scout Honor. For seventeen years he represented Marion Township on the Board of the Mercer County Civic Foundation. As a polio survivor, he served as a president of the Mercer County Polio Foundation until failing health forced him to retire. He passed away on the 75th anniversary of the onset of his polio.

While health permitted he loved to travel to visit the children and grandchildren in Arizona and Connecticut and enjoyed traveling with his siblings. Ken had a special love for farming and was a collector of John Deere memorabilia. Ken loved interacting with people, collecting and sharing regional oral history. He loved to play cards and preferred to win. As a devoted Marion Local Flyer Fan, nothing made him happier than when the Flyers won in any sport.
