Ken was born October 22, 1933 in Richmond, Virginia to Kenneth Carlton Thomas and Irene Schrader. The family moved to Indiana when Ken was seven. He was a graduate of Purdue University (1956) where he earned his Degree in Mechanical Engineering. He was a member of Phi Gamma Delta (Fiji).

Ken worked in Industrial Sales through the years and transferred with his family across the country with job promotions from Colorado, California, Texas, and Pennsylvania. He retired in 1999 and moved to Yorktown to care for this father.

Ken loved to hunt and would go annually to hunt with his Dad, uncles and cousins for many years in Berwick, Pennsylvania. He loved boating and fishing and being on the water. He also loved to do projects.

He was a very determined man and when he set his sight on something, he would go after it. One of his most notable characteristics was his witty and endearing sense of humor. He was an honest, loving man and had a huge heart.

He will be so deeply missed by so many. His cute grin and his blue eyes.

A Memorial Service will be held when it is safe to have family and friends gather in Marietta, GA and in Berwick, PA.
