    A graduate of Ashland High School and college at Northeastern University, he had an occupation as a salesman ending his career due to illness at Koopman Lumber.  Ken was the assistant football coach for Northbridge High School for 30 years and also for Blackstone Valley Tech. and Auburn High School for a short time.  He was a member of St. Mark’s Church in Sutton.  He enjoyed a variety of sports, especially football, fishing, and Sunday’s with his family.
     Through his battle with cancer, Ken redefined strength by defying odds with incredible will power and, often, a sense of humor. However, he is not just defined by these events.

Ken may no longer physically be with us, but his spirit will live on in all those who had the privilege of knowing him.
