Ken graduated from Bunker Hill High School in 1962, where he was the Senior Class President, voted Best Looking and Best All Around and then attended Western Carolina University, where we graduated with a political science and history degree in 1966. He was a loyal member of his beloved TKE fraternity, where he loved his brothers dearly. He went on to become a schoolteacher in Catawba County and Iredell County for several years. Afterwards, he moved into the food service industry, working for Mom n Pops as a buyer for their restaurants. He then moved to Western Steer/Sagebrush, where he held many positions, retiring as the Vice President of Franchising and Operations. Ken then decided to go into restaurant ownership and spent several years as the owner of Bennett’s Smokehouse and Saloon. He decided to end his working life at the Viewmont ABC store where things began to slow down, and he could start enjoying retirement. Ken was a kind, loving, caring, and altogether a great man. He was always viewed as one of the greatest.
