In 1975 he moved to the Orlando area where his passion for teaching young people continued at Union Park Middle School for 31 years.  His final concert presented by over two hundred students was a week before his untimely passing.  He was looking forward to a wonderful retirement, traveling with his wife Sharon of 17 years as well as volunteering his time to help beginning band students. Ken was recognized as a great role model and his influence on thousands of students has endeared him to many. Ken was preceded in death by his father, Lawrence Rogier and a great niece, Kay Durcholz.  He is survived by his wife, Sharon Rogier of Winter Springs, mother, Helen Rogier, brothers, Larry (Carol), Gene (Joanie) and sisters, Barbara (Dennis), Mary (Kerry), nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews from Indiana.
