Ken Rarick
Ken estimates he was working in some fashion from the time he was 9 years old until he retired from the manufactured housing business seven years ago. Now, Ken is typically the first Knight to volunteer his services to assist Knight Hands committee chairman Allen Reitmeier on jobs that help members of our community who need some repair or replacement work of some kind. “I like doing those jobs,” Ken said, “as many as I can.” Ken joined the Knights in September 2008 at Allen’s suggestion and took his major degree this past February at the ceremony hosted right here at Holy Spirit. Ken and wife Patty will celebrate their 48th wedding anniversary on June 18. They met while at Kent State University in Ohio. They’ve lived in Ovilla for almost 15 years and have been members of Holy Spirit since 1977. Ken has long been active in parish life, including participation in Holy Spirit’s finance committee. He also has been an involved citizen with Ovilla’s planning and zoning committee and the local volunteer fireman committee. The Raricks are often on the personal shuttle to Flower Mound, where their four grown children all live. That would be Bob (46), Jeff (42), Kathy (41) and Brian (36) along with four grandchildren. As for retired life, Ken said, “It’s wonderful. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
