I had the privilege for being one of the original cast members of the MGM Grand in 1993 working at Leonardos restaurant and I also had the privilege of being the requested food server for Kirk and his clients everytime the came in for a dinner/meeting.
I hope that he is R.I.P, he will forever be remembered by me.

I was held by Kirk as a babe in his arms. My father and him were best friends in Hollywood. I remember watching the Hollywood x-mas parade out his office window as a kid. My mother would often tell me stories about him and my dad running around and painting the town red together. He was a good man, may his journey be great and even greater now.

Kirk Kerkorian
Mom, Tom and I, have lost a very dear friend, it's the end of an era, a great man who moved mountains, changed the landscape and future of Las Vegas, and a true visionary of the future! He helped countless charities with no recognition, humble is an understatement of what this man represented! A true class act thru and thru!
We will miss him dearly, and watch to see his legacy carry on well into the future.
He was a trail real blazer one of a kind, a real man's man. He is now with his brother Nish, and dear sister the Rose! Kirk is probably already haggling with St. Peter on redesigning the pearly gates!
"Sorrow passes once we truly understand, the flower that once was, is held now in the hands of the Lord. (by unknown)
With our deepest condolences and all our love,
The Fletcher family, Vicky, Tom and Mark.
Kirk in his Prime!

Mr. Kerkorian was a great example of planning well, taking the time to "count the cost" before making a decision to engage in a business adventure, and displaying modesty and a giving spirit after he became successful. He is my hero, and I believe his loved ones are just as proud. Be assured that he is very precious in God's eyes. My condolences!

We express our condolences to the Kerkorian family, extended famliy and colleagues. Undoubtedly, Mr Kerkorian in many ways showed his zest for life with perseverance and vigor. Unending life is what would fully satisfy such yearning. May you find comfort in decades of many fond memories together, God's promise to undo all tragedy and the words of the greatest man who ever lived: - "he cried out with a loud voice: Lazarus, come out! 44 The man who had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them: Free him and let him go" John 11:43,44
