Condolence: I grew up in Amasa with the younger Kenney boys, and was able to be around Emil from time to time. He was always a gentleman as well as a gentle man. In later years, while visiting the old home town, if I managed to run into him, we would visit a while and exchange notes on our families as well as discuss any matter of current interest. Emil was a genuinely likeable person and fun to be around. He was definitely a person of the "old school," gracious, interesting, and interested in whoever with whom he was speaking. Family was important to him, both his and yours. In my opinion, Amasa has lost one of its icons. Bless you, Emil, for being such a great guy. Count me and my family among those who feel that Amasa now is a bit more empty.

Condolence: Our deepest condolences to Chester and his family.
