I’m sorry about Uncle Kenny’s passing. He will truly be missed. This sadness brought back many found memories. I will always remember sitting around Grand Mom Capner’s kitchen table listening to the truckers stories he and Uncle Leroy would tell. Staying real quiet so I wouldn’t be told to go outside to play. He certainly had a lot of energy as a young man when he wasn’t on the road working he was at home working on his truck. And also the side projects like building a bathroom on the first floor of Grandmoms house so she wouldn’t have to scale what seemed like 100 stairs steps. Or converting an old school bus into a camper. I remember the the rides he gave us kids on the back of his Moto Guzzi short but still quite a thrill for us kids. And so many more….
