Ken was a New Carlisle Town Council member for eight years. In addition to his civil service, he mentored students at Olive Township Elementary School.

Ken was a member of the Patoka Fishing Company for 32 years and Sons of the American Legion Post #297. He looked forward to golfing with his golf team-- Gary Lawson, Bob Middlebrook, and John Sinka. He was an avid Butler Bulldogs, Chicago Bears, and Chicago Cubs fan. Ken enjoyed traveling with his wife, and they visited many places, including Iceland, Ireland, Alaska, Hawaii, and Mexico.
