Following the war, he worked for Imperial Oil until his retirement in 1979. While Ken was with the oil company, he and Margaret lived for two years in Greece.

Many winters were spent in Barbados and later in Florida, where Ken pursued his love of golf and shooting pool. Kenneth was an active member of the Brockville Canadian Legion as well as an active participant at Bridlewood Manor. He had many friends and enjoyed spending time with them.
