This translated into sharing his love of traveling with his family. He was always supportive and encouraging of the endeavors of his children. Leaving a wonderful legacy, this proud papa was always rooting for his sons and grandchildren to love life and live it to the fullest. Ken was a member of Central Church, Charlotte, North Carolina for 21 years. He served willingly and selflessly, leading youth group, teaching younger children, serving in the kitchen ministry and going on mission trips.
