Dear Irene & Joyce, I can visulize your dad up there, talking an arm and leg off with all of our dear ones who got there before him....Wow, I bet he's happy greeting and hugging Aunt Min and Uncle Martin, with Nada, Brother, Marty & Evelyn looking on...I can visualize him giving my dad a hug and discussing the carpet jobs my dad took him on as a teenager and everyone thinking he was dads son cause they looked so much alike. He's holding his beloved Vin, Rita and Nicole close to his heart with tears of joy to be with themagain.....and he'll probably start doing some repairs to the stairway to Heaven...so it will be easier for us to journey up there.. Heartfelt sympathy for your loss........Mary Ellen

Our thoughts and prayers are with Irene and Joyce as well as your families. Kirk was a wonderful person and father. Aside from talking about the love of his life Vin, he loved talking about his three daughters and their children. He was very proud of all of you. We were proud to call him our friend.
