Carol, Kristie and Craig, you have my deepest sympathy. I did not know Kim well, but I was impressed by what a sharp sense of humor he had. He was a good and decent person and a loving father. May he continue to live in your hearts, memories and deeds.

Among many of Kim's multiple talents....the genuine passion to help others, stands out most for me. I will always remember Kim, carrying my daughter in his arms to my home....after she jumped off Kristie's Bunk Bed and fell to the floor and broke her arm. And his ever so funny personality and sense of humor...Thank you Kim for always making us laugh.
Your Old Neighbor......who will miss you~

Craig and family my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Your father was a hard worker, this can not be denied. I will always remember the passion he had for his work. Many a racer and auto enthusiast benefited from his good service and guidance even though many may not be aware of this fact. The Automotive aftermarket and the racing community has lost a good friend.
