He was born on November 21, 1935, in Wyandotte, Michigan to Fred and Hilda (Stubbe) Skiver. Ken married the love of his life, Margaret Peyton on December 8, 1956 in Taylor, Michigan. They had 68 wonderful years together. He will be remembered as a super nice guy, who was kind and caring. Ken was a skilled craftsman and a great role model, teaching the grandchildren the trade. He would say “It can’t be close enough; it has to be perfect”. He loved Wampler’s Lake, were he found solace, and drove his” Donzi”. Ken and his partner, the late, Johnny Kenosion built the Par 3 Golf Course in Brownstown, and later his son Kenny joined the partners. He was a member of the Hot Boat’s Club. Ken never met a stranger; and he had a gift to gab. He always had a hard time saying “Goodbye”. Ken will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
