In 1988, he and Paula owned Lonnie’s restaurant in Show Low, Arizona. They sold it in 1990, and Ken earned his certification in respiratory therapy at Apollo College in Mesa, Arizona. He worked at Mesa Lutheran Hospital until a better opportunity with Elliot’s Large and Tall in Phoenix appeared, and the couple moved to Tucson. He started L&L Direct Marketing LLC in Tucson in 1994 until they relocated to Ardmore in order to be nearer Paula’s family in 2010. Ken worked for Brad Fenton Toyota as a salesman and then at Griffin-Hillcrest as a pre-need counselor until his passing.
