Ken Jarmolow, former president of Martin Marietta Energy Systems, died
Wednesday, April 28, 2004. Mr. Jarmolow, who survived a marriage of 56 years, only
to be felled on the tennis court by a massive heart attack, is survived by his
wife, Shirley, his daughters, Beth and Janet, his son-in-law, Patrick, and his
grandchildren, Erica, Connor and Hanna. Mr. Jarmolow was born on a farm in
Lebanon, Conn., in 1924. In 1937, at the age of 17, he volunteered for the U.S.
Army Air Corps and trained as a test and fighter pilot. In 1948, using his GI
Bill benefits, Mr. Jarmolow graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology with a degree in aeronautical engineering. Immediately following
graduation, he joined the Martin Marietta Corp. Mr. Jarmolow's first position with
Martin Marietta was as an aeronautical engineer. In 1958, he was named chief of
the research staff for the aerospace company's Baltimore Division and two
years later became manager of the division's R&D activities. Following this he
was appointed director of the Research Institute for Advanced Studies. He became
president of Martin Marietta Energy Systems in December 1983. At this point
the Jarmolows moved to Oak Ridge. The Jarmolows, who said they loved the Oak
Ridge community, decided to stay there following retirement. He served on the
board of the Oak Ridge Civic Music Association, Methodist Medical Center
Foundation and Planned Parenthood of Tennessee. His family said he brought technical
and analytic skills to any challenge he faced. Mr. Jarmolow had an avid and
enduring interest in science, politics, medicine and music. His family said his
love of music was lifelong. According to his family, as a young father, he
discovered his two daughters were learning to play the piano more quickly than
he; nonetheless, he persevered. Along with his own professional success he would
have loved to have had an MD after his name, his family said. According to
his family, they mourn the loss of the opportunity to fulfill his dream
vacation, a challenging tennis match at a picturesque resort along the rocky coast of
Maine ending with a twilight lobster dinner surrounded by his family,
especially his grandchildren. A memorial service will be Wednesday, May 5, 2004, at
the Oak Ridge Unitarian Universalist Church located at 1500 Oak Ridge Turnpike.
Guests will be welcomed in the Hearth Room from 2:30 to 4 p.m. followed by the
service at 4 p.m. The family requests any memorials be in the form of
contributions to Second Harvest Food Bank, 922 Delaware Ave., Knoxville, TN 37921, or
to a charity of the donor's choice. Cremation Options Inc. in Knoxville is in
charge of arrangements.
