From an early age Ken had a passion for two things: humor and comics. Throughout this life Ken enjoyed jokes and even clowning as Keno, an official member of the Clowns of America. As a pannapictagraphist (comic book collector), Ken maintained a vast collection of comic series with appreciation for story lines and character development. In his later years Ken would share his love of comics with his children, enjoying trips to view leading blockbuster movies and delving into the details of the movie and discussing missing themes or anticipation of future movies against the actual comic series. Ken shared a long history of athletics, especially basketball, a pastime he shared with his father S.C. In college Ken was a member of an exhibition basketball team allowing his athleticism and love of playing basketball to shine through.
