One year has passed since you left us. It is still difficult for me to accept the fact that you are not with us.I think of you each day, and cherish all the good times we shared. You will always have a special place in my heart. You have left us....but your spirit and soul will always remain with me. I shall never forget you, never. RIP my friend. Today i am playing the music that you loved in honor of you. It is the least that i can do. We will meet again. It is inevitable. I miss you so much.

Dirk was so special. All the conversations we had over the last couple years just reaffirmed what a intelligent, caring man he was. We were hoping to spend more time together at Xmas and this summer especially once his injuries healed up.
It was way to early for his time to be up and he will be with all of us forever.

We spent so much time on the weekends over the last couple of years talking for hours about so much. It's only now that I can add to the guest book. Retirement will be so empty without the things we were planning on doing till you healed up from your previous injuries.
You were there for me when my gals and Dad died and I was looking forward to being there more for you at Xmas and this summer.
From riding our bikes to nature walking in Drumheller with you and Rod, to making beer with Rod and Gary, from the awesome sheet metal creations you designed, to your little house on the prairie and our in depth conversations...you were way to young and smart to go so soon.
I am so crushed you're gone...
Rest In Peace my friend

Hello Dirk, I Rodney am very saddened that you are one of the few true friends that one can appreciate being in close contact with , but you have suddenly been taken away for no reason at all! Since we met many moons ago, it has been a pleasure sharing my personal time with you and likewise, you sharing your personal time with me, thus allowing each other to become real friends in good times and bad!
