Not sure what to say?

I miss my dad

I'll remember him as one of the most kind hearted and funniest lovable guy, condolences to all, I have some stories i'd love to share the one when he was chasing his newer ranger down the hill as it hit a telephone pole was too funny. I loved him and his family I am so sorry !!

My dad was a great man and there is no one who could ever take his place I love him and miss him dearly but I know now he suffers no more he is now with our lord and those that have gone before him may he rest in peace and I know i'll see him again someday .

Dear family, I met Kim when we were in the 2nd grade together. Some boys were picking on him and I helped stop the fight. I brought Kim home to meet my mom and that day started a 50 yr relationship which I cherish. Kim called my mother ¨mom¨ and we always called eachother ¨brother¨. Kim had a tougher life than any person I know, but he never lost his moral compass. Kim was one of the most descent humans I´ve had the honor to know in this life. I´m proud to say that he was my friend.

susan, robert, and gerald i am sorry for your loss of a kind hearted man. i send my condolences to all of you. the last time i seen him or any of you was in the black hills. please keep his memories in your hearts.
