Not sure what to say?

A great story; My son Steve at age 12, was told by kids that a neighborhood dog was sent to the SPCA in Victor, NY. So the next day he packed a lunch and set out on his bike in the pouring rain to go get this dog. He got as far as Our Saviour's and went inside to sit. Pastor Kitts noticed Steve and sat down to talk with him. After some good counceling, Pastor got up, put his rain coat on, put Steve's bike in his car trunk and drove him back home. Pastor helped Steve put back all the lunch...

Sid enhanced my life. He was a joy to know and a wonderful neighbor.

What a long and distinguised life this wonderful man had. He will be missed by all who knew him. Our thoughts are with you Karen and family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. The memories over the years, confirmation class, seeing Pastor for the first time in "regular clothes" at the first church picnic we attended (early '70s), playing softball. He was one of the few good ones who will be greatly missed.

I am very sorry to hear about Pastor Kitts. Iremember my confirmation class and his visits to our house. I only disagreed with one thing he said to me and I do believe that dogs do go to heaven. Stephen Dyer, Seattle, WA

Dear Family,
I am a secretary in Pastor Kitts' primary doctor's office and I just want to tell you that I will miss talking with your wonderful Dad. He was such a kind and caring man, the light of Jesus just shone through him. I take comfort in knowing that he is in the arms of the Father now. I feel blessed to have known him.
Comfort and peace to you all,
Mindy Fletcher

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family; Pastor Kitts is a model pastor, for all to learn from.

Dear Kim, Larry, Anne, and Brian,
I did not personally know your father and/or granddad but want you to know that you are all in my prayers. I personally know Kim and she is a great person I bet much like her granddad."All" please take care. I am so, so sorry for your loss.

Pastor Kitts was an important part of my family's life during the years he served St. John's. He was with us when my father died and 4 months later he baptized my son. My mom always enjoyed receiving his yearly Christmas letters. He was a good man, and a true leader in faith. I will remember him fondly.
May God's peace be with all of his loved ones.
Rest in Peace Pastor Kitts.
