I was saddened to learn that Kirk had passed away. I enjoyed working with him through his blueberry farm. He was always a gentleman, intellegent and courteous to me. A favorite client of this County Agent. I will miss him. My condolences to his family and to his friends.

I knew Kirk for over 40 years and worked with him at two different places. He was a cool dude with a great sense of humor and many friends. It has been years since I've seen him, but he is one of those people who will live in our memories forever. My condolences to Linda and the rest of his family
