Ken was a dedicated man who worked diligently at work and home, as shown by his 25 years of service at Arizona Refrigeration Supplies. At home, Ken"s passion for his family shined through his countless home improvement projects, which helped him create the perfect venue for him to host family and friends for food from his smoker and Chicago Bears (and on lesser occasions, Arizona Cardinals) football games. Though Ken"s life was cut far too short, his family is forever grateful for the abundance of memories and joy that filled it.
