Kenny was a wonder man. I can remember him coming in the bowling alley when I was as little as 5 yrs. old. He always had a big smile on his face and could fill an empty potato chip holder faster than anyone. I never met anyone that didn't have great things to say about this wonderful man. God Bless all of Kenny's family.
There are not enough words to express the love I had for my "Uncle Kenny". Always had a smile no matter what the circumstances and a huge hug that only he was capable of giving. His love for Mac Baseball, St. Louis Cardinals and fishing were like no other. Not only a brother in law to my father but a best friend and brother. He will be missed by so many. So many wonderful memories spent in his presence as a child growing up. He could grow the best tomatoes and always made sure we were well provided with them. A caring and great example for my children and I'm blessed he was such an important part of their lives. Our family will greatly miss him. My deepest sympathy to Aunt Berneice, Greg and Becky. You were given a precious husband and father. There will be a great void but I know he is meeting his Heavenly Father at the "Pearly Gates" with that big smile and he will be your guardian angel until you are joined with him again. Thanks for sharing him with me. Love to you all.

RIP my Great Uncle Kenny..you will be missed…what a great man you where! Lots of prayers to the whole family.
Dear Berniece and Family,
We were very sorry to hear of your husbands passing. We will be praying for you to Feel the presence of God in your grief.
I am saddened to hear that Farmington has lost another member of the greatest generation. I met Kenny when my dad was building his house in the 1960's. He always had a smile that made everything better. RIP Kenny, I'm sure Heaven is happier today.
Aunt Berneice, Greg & Becky- My deepest sympathy to you. I was so lucky to have Uncle Kenny in my life. He was a great man, mentor and friend (especially to my dad). Uncle Kenny will always be a big part of my childhood memories and visiting Farmington. He had a great smile and he was always laughing. I will remember him teasing Marcus and I about stealing his finger and seeing him at work when we went for coffee with grandpa. I am sorry I won't be able to make it to Missouri, but my thoughts and prayers are with you. May God bless you with peace and wonderful memories.
Berneice, I was so sorry to hear about Kenny, and of course, I feel so bad for you and your family. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless You.
Ms. Berneice, Greg and Becky – I am sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Panchot. I hope the memories you hold will console you during this sad time. God Bless you all. ~ Emily

I have so many fond memories of living next door to Kenny growing up. He was always so nice and always flashing that great smile. He was always genuinely interested in what was going on with me in the sports I played and just in life in general. God bless you all as you remember what a great man Kenny was!
My prayers are with you and the children. I will always remember the trip we made to Hawaii together and what fun we had. John has been gone for 1 year and it takes trust in God to get through your loss. God be with you.

I have been gone from the Farmington area for over 30 years, but I have long remembered the man named Kenny as the 'chip man'. When I was a very young girl around 10 years old, the chip man would deliver chips to my parents little, country grocery store. I would meet the chip man at his truck every chance I got. He always greeted me with a smile. He let me help him carry in the boxes of chips and when all of the work was done, he would let me go back in his truck to pick out a bag of chips. He made me feel really special. I'm sure he could have done the work without me, but he treated me like I was his valuable employee. I will never forget the many treats I received, but most of all I will never forget Kenny and his wonderful smile.
