He was born on March 10, 1931, in East Peoria, the son of Phillip and Eva Pamson. He married Loretta Donaldson in 1978 and they were inseparable until her death in April 2020.
Ken was extremely proud to have served his country as a Marine during the Korean War. He subsequently worked as a semi driver for O'Neill Brothers until his retirement.
