Not sure what to say?

What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful man. We are so saddened to hear this news and are very sorry we were unaware until today with a chance meeting by Jim with Teri. May his memory be eternal - he has left beautiful legacy in his family and all he accomplished while still being a very humble guy.

This is one of the best tributes I have ever read! Sorry for your loss, Stacy, and your entire family but boy it sounds like your dad lived well and was blessed.

Well written. Delayed Pilgrim what a great memory...brought a smile to my face.
With his passing, we lost one of our beloved dinosaurs. Sadly, Chris generation of immigrants is surely diminishing, but the lessons they taught will be eternal and unparalleled. He was one of the best persons I had ever known. The wife he chose and family they made are living proof of that. Let all the peace that the heavens have to offer be bestowed upon you. Rest knowing you were loved & cherished.

He gave great smiles and warm hugs and it was impossible not to love him. He welcomed you as if you were a queen or king in his home. His son Bill married our daughter Melanie, so we had a special bond in the thirteen years that we knew him. May he rest in peace and may his memory be eternal.

Mr. Kirkos I always felt welcome in your home. Great memories growing up and you will be missed. You have left a great legacy. Peace be with you.
