In Loving Memory of Ken: A Tribute to a Life Well-Lived
Ken was born in the heart of Wisconsin. At the tender age of 10, he embarked on a new chapter as his family settled in the community of Bloomington, Minnesota, where his curiosity began to flourish.
From an early age, Ken displayed an extraordinary interest for electronics and machinery that would shape the course of his life. With a voracious appetite for learning, he dove headfirst into the world of gears and circuits, often spending countless hours tinkering and experimenting.
As the years passed, Ken's devotion to his talent and enthusiasm caught the attention of those around him as a go-to person for any mechanical challenge, big or small. His kindness and willingness to lend a helping hand to anyone in need defined his character.
Ken's path took a detour from his secondary education when he answered the call of duty, by enlisting in the Army. His time in the service illustrated courage and leadership skills earning the respect of his fellow soldiers.
Upon returning from his military service, he met and married his loving wife of 50 plus years. Ken and Mary raised 2 boys to be confident and well adjusted men. Ken was very proud of what his boys had become.
Not only were Ken's contributions technical but also encouraged others to explore their own ambitions.
His journey may have come to an end, but his life story reminds us that our potential knows no bounds when fueled by passion.
As we bid farewell to his soul, let us remember Ken for the ingenuity, kindness, and the spirit that defined him. In this life well-lived, Ken leaves a lasting impact on the hearts of those he touched.
