I worked with Kent at the old Miamisburg Kroger store back in the 1980´s! Kent was a very kind and interesting person! Just an all around nice guy!

After watching the video I remembered that Kent was John Estridge´s son-in-law! I worked with John at both Super Duper and Kroger stores!

I´m so sorry to hear of Kent´s passing! My sympathies to his family and friends!

I still can´t believe Kent has passed as we had lunch together just a short time ago. I know that day he had told me he was having pain.
I reported to Kent at PLM for awhile and can´t believe how much he taught me. Kent so knowledgeable and fun to work with. I will miss him greatly.
While I am unable to make it to his services my prayers go out to his family. Tom
