Ken's Story
Life
Out of high school, I decided to try racing harness horses, and went to Detroit, Mi. to work. I was in and out of the racing business from then until I moved to AZ in 1980, and I sold the last 5 horses I had. I've not gotten back in racing since. I served in the military from June 1962 to June 1964. I got married in 1966 to Joyce Klopfenstein of West Unity. We had 6 children, 3 boys and 3 girls. I went to work for the telephone Co. in 1967 at Bryan, OH. In Sept. 1968 I went to work for the bell system and worked 11 yr. in Hillsdale, MI. In 1980, I transfered my job to Casa Grande, AZ and retired in June 1999. I started a traffic control business in Mar. 1987 to give my son a job, and also our town needed someone to rent equipment as the nearest towns with a business was 50 and 60 miles away. Since leaving the phone Co., the traffic control business has been very good to us and we have grown quite a bit. ...Expand for more
We now are here in Casa Grande, Sierra Vista and also serving Yuma, AZ. The Lord has really blessed our business. Really the only real bad thing that has happened with my family, was losing a son to colon cancer in 1989. He was 22 yr. old at the time. My only solace was, that he knew he was going to meet Jesus. He was saved and he knew it and I have to praise the Lord for that. Other than that, I have had a lot of people that have helped me to get where I am today, and without friends and relatives helping me along the way, life would not have been very good. I have played guitar and bass ever since I was 15 and it still has a special place in my heart. I enjoyed entertaining and playing with some of the best people in the world that I know. If I had it all to do over again, I would hope I could be a better example and not cause anyone, any problems, or cause anyone to stumble because of something I said or done.
