Following retirement from NCIS, he performed government investigative services for a private firm. After a 30 year career with the Marine Corps Reserves, he retired as a Colonel.
Ken will be remembered for so many things including his service to his country, his quick wit and sense of humor, his love of horse racing and golf, his enjoyment of bird watching and his love of dogs and Burmese cats.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions be made to the Oconee County Humane Society or the Animal Rescue Fund of South Carolina.
