On June 22, 1957 Ken was united in marriage to Dorothy Krueger in Navarino. The couple moved to Muskego and soon after Milwaukee where Ken worked construction with Savoris and later Arby Construction. Dorothy preceded Ken in death on December 26, 1997.

Dolly also preceded him in death on February 21, 2016. Ken was a member of the VFW Post #664 in Clintonville where among other things, he helped with numerous military graveside honors for fellow veterans over the years.
