Ken worked for Bethleham Steel at their Sparrows Point plant for most of his life. Janet stayed home and raised their children then helped with the grandchildren. Janet cooking was legendary. At dinner time, plates would be piled high with chickens, potatoes, and other family favorites; and it would all be eaten.

In about 2000, Janet was diagnosed with Parkinson disease.
