At the age of nine months he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. His projected live span was only his teens. Although Ken had very limited speech and mobility he was very alert, active and ALWAYS smiling. His parents devoted their entire lives to Ken's care which afforded him a very fulfilled life.
Ken spent his time listening to county music, building with his Lincoln Logs and enjoying all his model cars. His favorite outings were attending car shows and bike nights throughout the area. (Both of his brothers owned 1957 Chevys which Ken loved to ride in.)
Ken was preceded in death by his parents and many loving family members who played such an important part of his life.
He leaves to cherish his memory, his twin brothers, Steve (Karen) Bungo of Fairfield Glade, Tennessee and Ed (Kathy) Bungo of DuBois, Pennsylvania; niece, Marilyn Bungo Mills (Andy) of Kentucky; nephews, Patrick (Kara) Bungo of Florida and Greg (Stephanie) Bungo of Pennsylvania. He also is survived by two great-nephews and five great-nieces.
The family would like to thank all his extended family and friends for all the love they showered on Ken during his life. Also a special thanks to all the staff at Gateways to Better Living for the excellent care he received during the 17 years that he was under their care.
Cremation has taken place and Ken will be laid to rest with his parents at Holy Trinity Catholic Church's cemetery in Ramey, Pennsylvania.
