Ken worked as a truck driver for many years, always providing for his family with quiet strength and relentless dedication. Ken was the kind of man who found joy in life’s simple pleasures: a good game of golf, his favorite music, a well-earned cigar, and time spent with friends and family. Though he may have begrudgingly welcomed each new pet into the family home, they always ended up choosing him as their favorite. But most of all, Ken loved his family—especially his grandchildren—and treasured every moment spent with them.
