Ken was a graduate of St. Peters College, Jersey City, NJ. A proud veteran, he served as an officer in the U.S. Army in Germany between 1962-1965. Upon his return to the U.S., he began a 33-year career with the Social Security Administration. He retired in 1995 as Director of the SSI Quality Assurance Branch, NY Regional Office.
He and the love of his life, wife Loretta, spent 34 years in Upper Montclair, NJ where they raised their 4 children, and summered in the Poconos, PA prior to retiring to the Four Seasons in Barnegat in 2002.

Ken was a member of the Four Seasons Barnegat Men's Club and a member of the National Association of Active and Retired Federal Employees.
