It is with heavy heart I announce Kenny Hacker passed early this morning, September 13, 2017.  I have no details except to say Kenny has bravely struggled with bad health for years.  He has called me on several occasions during the past year to stay in touch with Class activities.  Irene had visited him last month and found him alert and relatively comfortable, and his daughter, Heidi, just moved to Cabot to help Melinda with Kenny’s in-home care.  I don’t know if Kenny will be laid to rest here or in Arkansas but will watch for obituary so I can give you details.  Kenny’s loyal wife is Melinda, who has attended several functions with us.  Her address is 285 West Earlene Cove, Cabot, AR 72023, should you wish to send a card of condolence.  God bless Kenny’s family as they travel through this dark tunnel.  May God bless us all and keep us safe.
