IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Mar 20, 1949 — Aug 25, 2019
Ken Henderson of Dover, IN passed away Sunday morning, August 25, 2019 surrounded by loved ones. He recently celebrated his 40 th wedding anniversary with his best friend and wife, Karla. He was born on March 20, 1949 to the late Colonel Oran K. Henderson (Ret.) and the late Dorothy Lawson (Nanz) Henderson at Ft. Meade, Maryland. Growing up in a military family, Ken moved frequently graduating from high school in Hawaii where he loved spending time surfing. While in Hawaii, his love for the water and strength in swimming and surfing led him to the heroic rescue of two boys who would have otherwise drown.

At home in Dover, Ken enjoyed wood working and has made bookshelves, benches, tables, etc., that now adorn special places in family members' homes.
Ken will be greatly missed by his wife Karla. He also leaves behind sisters Ann, Esq. (Honorable Samuel) Kline of Lebanon, PA and Nancy (Kenny) Schultz of Monroe, NY; nieces Dr. Adrienne (Dr. Chris) Cummings, Dr. Audrey (Dr. Joe) Farrell and Abby (Matt) Sanders and nephews Christopher Schultz and Justin Schultz.
