Ken's favorite pastimes were fishing and spending time with his many friends and family. Although he enjoyed all seasons, his favorite time of year was always Christmas which for him always had traditions around it including seeing family, church, and cooking the tradition Polish food he loved. Always a social person, he enjoyed being around people which extended to his love of Twin's baseball and attending games with his kids. After 30+ years in the Army and Winona's local 407th Army Reserve unit he retired in 1992. His military time included tours in Vietnam and Desert Storm. In his post military life he remained committed to his fellow Veteran's by spending much of his free time volunteering at the Winona VFW.
