HIGHLAND, N.Y. — Kenneth G. Sisson, a carpenter by trade, who loved to snowmobile and hunt, died on Sunday, Feb. 25, 2024. He was 84.

He was born on Dec. 27, 1939, the son of the late Mildred Quick and Leland Sisson, stepson of Edsel Quick, brother of the late Katherine Quick and Clyde and Sonny “Leland” Sisson.

She went on, “He loved my mom’s pumpkin pies. He ate by the fork in a pie pan. He came up to Westerlo to my mom’s house one time when she was baking pumpkin pies, a bunch of them. And by the time he and his friends left, there were no pies left.”

He is survived by his wife, Carol Sisson, and by his first wife, Faye Williams Sisson, and by his sister, Carolyn Haley
