Ken was a 1949 graduate of Lincoln High School. Ken served as a, Pipe Fitter 1st Classman, in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War. He was always a Lincoln Wolves fan but he spent his life loving Razorback sports, especially baseball and women’s basketball. Ken greeted hundreds of local neighbors throughout the years in the grocery industry, including, owning his own store, Ken’s IGA. He loved gardening, and he was a very talented woodworker.
