Kevin (and entire family), I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. Dave Courtney sent out an email to all your Bishop Neumann High School friends and your dad sounds like an amazing and very compassionate, thoughtful man who captured fully all life offered. I am sending thoughts, caring, supportive prayers your way. Much care Kevin.

To The Kimball Family- I was saddened to hear the news of Mr. Kimball's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time, but rest assured he has gone home and is reunited with his good buddies like my Dad! Thoroughly enjoyed my time with him and Mary Lou during my Dad's services. God Bless!

Dale and I will miss Mr. Kimball's warm smile and kind heart. It's not the amount of time we have with someone, it's the quality of the time we have with them. He touched us all and I know he is in heaven smiling down on us.
