Dear Donna, Mark and Robyn, and Heidi~
I’m so sorry to read of Kim’s death. Not having lived out in the Hutchinson area for so many years now it was a complete shock to see this in the obituaries. And with Dave and Kathy both being gone I don’t hear anything regarding your families anymore. You have my most sincere sympathy in this sad loss of such a kind, nice guy! He always had a smile and time to talk when I’d run into him somewhere, and never forgot anything from all the years I’ve known him. Just a great guy all the way around! I hope all your wonderful, happy memories and pictures of him will help to keep him alive in your hearts in all the difficult days ahead. God’s peace and comfort be with you~ Jo Larson Reck
