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.

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.”
