I think I can speak for my brothers when I say we have many, many fond memories of Kent from our childhood. While he and my father have been out of touch as of late, they were like brothers years ago. And he was like a great, big, tough uncle to us. He will definitely be missed by our family. All of our thoughts and prayers are with Annlee and family. God Bless.
