He moved to Auburn in 1969 and worked for decades as a general contractor. Over the years he enjoyed fishing, bowling, square dancing and playing horseshoes. He had a passion for the SF Giants and 49ers and rarely missed a game on TV.
He is survived by his daughter Kim Maness and son-in-law Rick Maness of Rancho Cordova, former wife Yvonne Dietrich Deverman of Sacramento, brother Merle Dietrich of Grass Valley, sister Louise Rogers of Napa, and many nieces and nephews.
Ken’s ashes will be laid to rest at New Auburn Cemetery.
