On Saturday, October 13, 1962, Ken married his sweetheart, Bonnie Jean Bachler, in St. Gertrude Church, Madeira, Ohio. Together, they would build a lifetime of memories with their four children.

Ken also had a fondness for gardening, golfing, music (Elvis Presley, Rosemary Clooney and a host of others); he shared many interests with Bonnie such as bowling, Scouting and square dancing.
