Ken is preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his sister Carroyle Seal of Filer and her family, and Ted Schlecht of Shoshone and his family.
Ken’s philosophy on life: “Never put off till tomorrow those things that can wait till next Monday, after all next Monday might not get here and think of all the effort that you would have wasted”.
