Thinking about you today, Brother. I thank you for the example you set before me; too bad I was so slow to realize what it meant. I'm a better man, husband, and father for having observed your Christian witness over the years. Sleep well, Brother . . . I shall see you in due time.

I was a childhood friend of Kit, as we knew him then. We lived on Randolph Street in Indianapolis.
For some reason I thought of his name this morning and Googled it. I am sorry to hear of his passing.
