Upon retirement from full time ministry, Ken served as the Seniors Pastor at Life Church in Fishers, IN where he thoroughly enjoyed being a Bible Study teacher and conducting services for the Seniors.  He was a very selfless person and a very patient and loving man, always giving of himself.  Ken had a passion for sharing God's Word and helping others come to know Jesus Christ.  He was very handy and loved to fix numerous things, and enjoyed plants and gardening.  He became famous for his booming voice.   Most of all, Ken loved spending time with his family, traveling abroad and domestically.  He will be dearly missed.
