Ken and his WWII bride, Ada, of Manchester, England, enjoyed 60 years of marriage, during which they enjoyed their family. Ken owned two Dairy Queen franchises and became a mentor to the many young students he employed over 30 plus years. He loved his community and was committed to “giving back” through his many charitable activities, including his business and Lions Club. During his retirement he enjoyed traveling with Ada, friends and family throughout the US and abroad. After retirement, he took up golf but probably enjoyed the camaraderie of his golf partners more. He and his wife spent many winters in the Ft. Myers, FL area with friends. His love, compassion and humor will be greatly missed.
