Our hearts are breaking
Whence goeth the RBF?
R.I.P. Kenny Peerson (1957-2015)
The Poonanny Run will never be the same.
UPDATE: The "service" will be 1:00 p.m. Saturday at Edwards Funeral Home, 201 N 12th St, Fort Smith. There will be a visitation afterward.
As Jungle Boater mentions below, there will be a "spreading the ashes" event on the Mulberry at a later date. Hopefully the plan for a headstone next/close to Jimmy at Campbell's Cemetery will work out too.

Re: RBF, Minus One
In the mere twenty years I have been a member of the canoe club, I have heard about, or often just seen enjoyable posts from many great folks I never chanced to meet. My condolences from down Caddo way, to friends and family.
Sincerely
Jim

"Wonder why it is that I love the river
Wonder why it is that I love to sing
Seems like if I could understand the river
I could understand most anything
I wonder why the time goes by so fast
When the trip is slow
Headin' down out of the mystery above
Headin' down into the mystery below"

God's speed Kennypuss. I love you...
Tentative plans are for a memorial service at Edwards Funeral Home either this Friday or Saturday. At a later date his ashes will be sent down the Mulberry. Linda is looking to place a marker at Campbell Cemetery next to Jimmy Sartin. CC ought to be rocking when those two get back together!

Kenny will be missed.
The first time I met Kenny he was sitting on a log in front of Sacs on the Mulberry eating a bologna sandwich. He was in his element and was calmer than a Hindu cow. His life jacket was sun faded and his river clothes were well worn. Even a rookie like me knew he had been here before. Years later we argued over the Iraq war, he was right I was wrong. Kenny is missed.

Kenny was a great guy. ..and a ton of laughs on the trips I got to take with him. I'm priveledged that I got to share some river time with him. He will definitely leave a fond shadow of memories in many hearts.
