Ken was previously married to Kathy Jorgenson (1973-1992) and Marilyn Hadlow (1963-1969), both who passed away before him.

Ken spent his life on the center stage and was 1987 All Around World Auctioneering Champion. He affected many people’s lives, not the least lifelong friend Bob Stanbury and his business and lifestyle crossed paths with too many good friends to mention.
