He was born February 21, 1933, in Peru, Ind., to Lyman and Mary Foy. After serving five years in the United States Navy, he came to Needles, Calif., in the early sixties where he worked as a police detective for the Santa Fe Railroad. While working for the Santa Fe, that is where he met his first wife, Mary Davis. They married shortly after, and had two children, Ken Jr. and April. After the Santa Fe, he went to work for the Needles Police Department. During his years there, he would go hunting and trapping with some of his fellow coworkers. After his retirement from the police department in 1984, he finished out his working years as a security guard for Southern California Edison in Laughlin, Nev. In 1995, he moved to Libby, Mont., where he met and married his second wife, Carol, and he lived out the rest of his years doing what he loved most, which was hunting and fishing.
