He was a vendor for the Pirates and Penguins since 1985, and hardly ever missed a game. I know any game I ever went to he was there, focused completely on selling his products. I loved how he knew to pause and make sure he wasn't blocking someone's view during a play.
The games just won't be the same without you Kenny!
Pirates owner Bob Nutting had this to say about Kenny Geidel, "He was part of the fabric of the experience at PNC Park. Our thoughts & prayers go to his family & friends."
Michael McDonald, district manager for Aramark, said “He certainly was one of the ‘characters’ that added to the sporting event experience and had quite a following among the Pittsburgh fan base. He will be missed.”
Kenny was popular and had followings on YouTube and Facebook.

The Pirates will also have a moment of silence before tonight's game against the Dodgers in honor of Geidel. Where else but Pittsburgh do you honor stadium vendors? Gotta love that about this town.
