Ken was a graduate of DuPont Manual and U of L with a Masters Degree in chemistry. He established Louisville Testing Laboratory over 50 years ago. He reported the 1968 winner of the Kentucky Derby, Dancers Image, as having an illegal drug, which disqualified the horse as the winner. He was a former member of the Audubon Country Club and was twice club champion in golf. He enjoyed traveling with family and friends and each summer enjoyed their camp on the river.
The family would like to thank Treyton Oak Towers' staff for their outstanding care and concern.
The family request in lieu of flowers, that a memorial gift be made to the charity of your choice.
