One of my favorite memories of KC was visiting him, Faryl, Jack, and Kay in Houston when I was 12. It was exciting to watch him ride the bulls in the rodeo. Also, no one could play a trumpet like Kim. He had a true gift for music. Rest in peace, cousin.

My dad with Emily at horse camp. His grandchildren called him "Pop on the Farm". I miss you Daddy. My love for you will never die.

I got to know KC back in the late 90'S when his sons played on my baseball team and he helped me coached. HE WAS A TRUE GENTLEMAN. He had the upmost patience for teenage boys, I even learned a few things from him. He was commited to raising his boys with morals and values. I was lucky enough to run into him a couple of months ago and catch up on our lives. He was very proud of his children and their success. I'm so sorry for your loss. Vickie Asbel
