My condolences to the Wager Family.

Growning up in the '60's, Kenny was one of our Boy Scout leaders with Troop 36. Manley "Pete" Hayes was Scout leader with Kenny, and Twisty Sinton as his assistants. We sure had a great time with Kenny, as anyone who knew him could imagine.

Ken is one fellow his family and friends will always fondly remember.

Ken was a great neighbor, whose presence added joy to our lives. His wave during his walks was always a bright spot. We appreciated our common background and experiences in the Army.
We will miss Ken and will keep him and his family in our thoughts and prayers.
