Retired as a car inspector from the Pennsylvania Railroad. Ken was well known in his community for his generosity, good humor, and perpetual malarkey. His garden produced an abundance of tomatoes and zucchini, which we looked forward to every year. His life touched many through his involvement in the Cresson United Methodist Church and his pivotal role in the management of the Cresson Food Pantry for many years. He had also been a member of the Rails to Trails Conservatory and Cresson Senior Citizens. He spent the past few months at Arbutus Park Manor, where he shared many special moments with his daughter, Debbie Bonski, who also resides there. He will be remembered fondly.
