LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF KERRY D. CASNER
I, KERRY D. CASNER, of Upper Allen Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania,
being of sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding, do make, publish and declare
this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and making void all former Wills by me
at any time heretofore made.
1.
I direct the payment of all my just debts and funeral expenses as soon as conveniently
may be after my decease.
2.
All the rest, residue and remainder of my Estate, real, personal and mixed, whatsoever
and wheresoever situate, I give, devise and bequeath unto my wife, ROSEMARIE GA VIN-
CASNER, to her own use and benefit absolutely.
3.
In the event, however, that my said wife should predecease me, or should die at about the
same time as I die, such as in a disaster common to both of us, I give, devise and bequeath my
said Estate to my wife's sister, JANET KNECHT, Trustee, in Trust for the following purposes.
In the event that she is unable or unwilling to act as such Trustee, I appoint my wife's brother,
ANDREW GAVIN, to be Trustee in her place and stead.
A.
The income from said Trust Estate, as well as so much of the principal as is
needed according to the discretion of the Trustee, shall be used and expended for
the support and maintenance, including medical, surgical and hospital care, and
college education, or other such formal education, such as any internship,
apprenticeship, residence, clerkship, or the like of my sons, RYAN G. CASNER,
MICHAEL G. CASNER, STEPHEN G. CASNER, and any after-born children
who survive me. The decision of my Trustee as to the completion of formal
education by any of the above children shall be final.

.("-.d
B. The payments authorized by Subparagraph (A) of this Paragraph "3" shall be
made without any regard to equality of distribution among any of the said
children. The amount to be paid for the benefit of any of the above children shall
be determined from time to time by the need of each of the said children, and the
amounts and times of said payments shall be determined by such need. The said
payments may be made by my said Trustee directly to each of the said children, or
..
to such of them as may be, in the sole opinion of my Trustee, of such age and
ability to handle properly the funds so paid to such child, or may be made by my
said Trustee directly to the person having the custody and care of said child, or
may be made by my said Trustee directly to any institution entitled to such
payment by reason of services rendered or to be rendered to any of the said
children.
C. In the event that any of my said children shall become wholly or partially
incapacitated, disabled or the like, and should they qualify to receive or be
receiving any public assistance or the like at the time of the inception or during
the term of their Trust, my Trustee is to use the income and/or principal of their
Trust only in a manner to supplement or augment such assistance or the like and
not to replace or supplant it. Additionally, my Trustee is to consider all available
scholarships or other educational subsidies that may be available or may be
applied for in connection with educational expenses, it being my intention therein
to augment or supplement the same and not to replace them.
D. To pay one-half (1/2) of the principal then remaining in his/her hands to the said
children, share and share alike, when all the children shall have attained the age of
twenty-five (25) years. The balance shall then be set off equally to each such
child, each to receive the income from his /her set off share. The income to be
paid out monthly or quarterly as my Trustee deems best. The balance of principal
and any accumulated income thereon shall then be paid over to them when the
youngest shall have attained the age of thirty (30) years.
E. I direct that the interests of all beneficiaries in the Trust hereby created, whether
in the principal or income thereof, shall be free from liability to attachment or
other legal process issued at the instance of any creditor or assignee of such
beneficiary, and I direct that no payment shall be made by way of anticipation of
sums which may thereafter accrue to any beneficiary.
F. If the Trustee has taken into the Trust Estate any real estate, and as Trustee
considers it feasible to sell the same, I hereby authorize, empower and direct the
said Trustee to sell at public or private sale or sales, and to convey any such real
estate to the purchaser or purchasers thereof, and to give good and sufficient deed
or deeds for the same.
G. I t is my wish that my Trustee, so far as circumstances as they may exist from time
to time will permit, use the services of Michael S. Cornfeld, of Heritage Investors

4878 for investment guidance and advice.
4.
In the event any of my above children, predeceases me or die during the term of this
Trust, then upon the termination of this Trust, his/her share of principal shall go to his/her
surviving issue in equal shares, per stirves. Should all my children fail to survive me or die
during the term of this Trust and is not survived by issue, then I direct that the balance in this
Trust at its termination shall be divided and distributed equally, ver cavita, amongst my and my
spouse's nieces and nephews who are living at the time of such termination. In the event that
any of them are under the age of twenty- five (25) years at such time, then his or her share or
shares, as the case may be, shall remain in Trust upon the above stated terms and conditions,
excepting however, that each such child shall have an equal share and any withdrawals for his or
her benefit shall be credited against his or her own share only. Additionally, I authorize my
Trustee to maintain all the said Trusts in one pooled Trust Fund to keep administrative costs to a
minimum if Trustee, in his/her sole discretion believes the same can be done in a reasonable
manner while maintaining separate credits and bookkeeping entries for each child's Trust.
5.
I hereby nominate, constitute and appoint my wife's sister, JANET KNECHT,
Guardian of any property which passes otherwise than under this will to a minor and with respect
to which I am authorized to appoint a Guardian and have otherwise not specifically done so.
Such Guardian shall have the power to use principal as well as income from time to time for the
minor's education, support and welfare, or to make payment for these purposes without further
responsibility to the minor or to any person taking care of the minor. If she is unable or unwilling
to act as such Guardian, I appoint my wife's brother, ANDREW GAVIN, to act as such
Guardian in her place and stead.
6.
In the event that my wife predeceases me, I appoint my wife's sister, JANET KNECHT,
Guardian of the persons of any of the above-named children who may be minors at the time of
my death. If, for any reason, she is unable or unwilling to act as Guardian of the above-named
children, I appoint my wife's brother, ANDREW GAVIN, as Guardian of the persons of the
