Ken was one fine Christian who always had time to teach others at the many Bible Studies he led. Ken was a leader and always had a big smile for you. He also used his talents that God gave him as a craftsman and built many beautiful things for Elim Church and the place he lived the past few years. Ken will be missed by many and my sympathy goes out to his family and friends.
