Ken was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and brother who never missed the opportunity to spend time with his family. Ken always introduced himself and his wife, Barb, as the "Original Barbie and Ken" and enjoyed making others laugh with his jokes and story-telling. He was an avid Pittsburgh Steelers football fan, golfer, hunter, bowler and dreamer of winning the lottery. Ken is continuing to give in life as a Lifeline Ohio Organ Donor. A Private Memorial Celebration of His Life will be held at a later date. Arrangements completed by Schoedinger Grove City Chapel. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations to the OSU Ross Heart Center and the simple wish of remembering to laugh every day!
