Remembrance celebration for Ken Budzyna held Saturday

Sunday, July 20 at 4 p.m.— KILLINGTON — This Sunday friends and family are invited to celebrate the life of Kenneth, “Ken” or “KB,” Budzyna, at the Foundry at Summit Pond in Killington at 4 p.m.

Budzyna was 66 years old when he passed away suddenly, June 4, after a heart attack in Florida. Budzyna lived in Port Charlotte with his wife January Meyer Budzyna during winters. The couple continued to reside in Killington summers after his retirement in 2005.

A congenial host, consummate businessman, and former owner of two iconic Killington establishments, The Summit Lodge and The Grist Mill, Budzyna’s legacy lives on.

Come to celebrate and share stories as the community remembers this Killington icon.
