He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Sandy; one son, Tracy Nemer of Monroe, NC; one daughter, Kelly Stegall and husband Steven Stegall of Monroe, NC; and two grandchildren, Levy Stegall and Magdalena (Lena) Stegall of Monroe, NC. In addition to being a proud husband, father, and grandfather, Ken dearly loved his extended Nemer (Shore) and Reinhardt families and cherished spending birthdays and holidays with them in Winston-Salem, NC and religiously attending the annual Reinhardt Family Reunion in Hooterville, VA. Ken spent the majority of his career in banking, working for NCNB and Nations Bank. He spent the last 11 years of his career working with Union County Transportation. Ken was active in civic and community organizations as a member of Kiwanis and Monroe Civitan Club. He was also an avid volunteer with The Arc of Union County and was recognized as The Arc of NC Volunteer of the Year. Ken was a founding and dedicated member of T.H.U.M.B.S men’s club. Ken had a life-long love for classic cars, rock-and-roll, antiquing, and Speedy’s BBQ. More than anything, he loved spending time with family and friends whenever possible. Ken’s life will be celebrated with a memorial service on Saturday, February 4th at 2:00 pm at Gordon’s Funeral and Cremation Service.
