Ken was born April 7,1949, in Cumberland, MD, the son of the late Paul E. Printy and Florence J. (Foote) Printy.

Ken was a graduate of Mt. Savage High School where he ran track, graduating in 1967.

Ken was an avid outdoorsman, enjoying hunting and fishing and sharing that passion with his son and grandsons. He was also a stock car racing enthusiast which was something he shared with his wife, family, and friends. Over the years he was a pit crew member, building cars for Dave Hite Racing, Fadley Racing, and Dunmeyer Racing.

Ken was a family man, first and foremost. He was his grandchildren’s biggest fan, always in the stands cheering them on. He was at the grill for family reunions, picnics and always had a story to make you smile. Many knew that anytime they needed something fixed he was the man to visit. His motto that he shared with everyone was that “It’s No Big Deal” because no problem or situation couldn’t be repaired.
