We were so sorry to hear of Kim's passing. He and David had so much fun at Holiday Bowl on Sunday nights. David missed Kim so much when we moved back to KY. They were just alike...2 big kids who had so much fun together. They were always laughing and joking around. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Karen, Krystal, Kary, Kellie, Pete & Dottie,

I am truly saddened to hear of Kim's passing. We grew up together on Owaisa Road in the River Estates since, gosh, before Kindergarten. He was always right in the thick of the fun we had on "the circle". I have so many fond memories of those early years, as well as the great times in band all the way through high school. I know Kim loved you all dearly. May the love of friends carry you swiftly through these difficult days.

Peace be with you,

Kim will always be remembered as a friend. Someone who cared deeply for his family and who loved them very much. He always spoke about his wife, son and daughter when he came to visit our store in Newport News. I will always fondly remember him and the golf trips to Myrtle Beach and Charleston, and the many things he taught us about the welding business. God Bless.

Dear Karen and children, Kelly and children and "Uncle" Pete and "Aunt" Dot,

You are very much in my thoughts and prayers. As I reflect on the many formative experiences in growing up, Kim ( and you all) was so very much an integral part of my life. Words do not express the depth of loss and grief that must emerge from this and I only hope that you will find grace and comfort in the re-membering. The thought of one life well lived is an important memorial and gift.

in deep heartfelt sympathy,

Kevin and Susan Clark and family
