Ken, a native of Detroit, lived a full life of dedication, service, and love. In 1960, Ken answered the call of duty and served in the United States Army with honor and distinction, a commitment that spanned from 1960 to 1963.

For 27 years, he faithfully served as a Detroit City Police Officer, ensuring the safety and well-being of his fellow citizens.
