A quiet, peaceful, and kind man makes a powerful imprint on his world and on those fortunate enough to have known him. Kim was such a man. His leadership on the basketball court and his impression on my son Kevin was special. I'll never forget the huge smile on his face.

I am so sorry to hear about the tragic loss of your father, husband and son. I remember when Kim and Dianna moved into the neighborhood so many years ago. I smile at the memory of when their first son, Andrew, was born and I saw him for the first time. Dianna and Kim had him bundled up like he was outside in the middle of Alaska. You couldn't even see his eyes he had so many layers on. Kim said they just wanted to be sure he was warm.
We will miss you Kim, you and your family were wonderful and kind neighbors.
