I am so sorry for your loss. But I am so grateful I got to know Kenny from meeting him at a farm sale, and later getting some equipment from him. We just seemed to hit it off, as I'm sure he did with most of those he crossed paths with. He helped me with the setting of my old earcorn picker one day when I was really struggling to figure out how to use it, then he laughed and said,this is where I would start, but play with it and you will figure it out. And he was right. As we go through life leaning on experiance and applying common sense, we will figure it out. I, as you , will miss Kenny.
