Sympathy's to the whole Wisser family. I have known Kenny since I was a teenager in 4-H Saddlites horse & pony. Mabel also used to do my mom's & my hair about the same time . Over the years I would run in to Kenny all time. He always had a smile on his face & a happy remark for us. Kermit & I will very much miss seeing him at different events. Like sales & church picnics & Alburtis park. Glenn remembers us both I am sure.
