This is Steve Walker one of your Clair's restaurant friends. Kim stopped by my house the Thursday before his passing. We talked about his 40 years driving truck for Utz and his love of golf. I joked that he should consider going back to work. I didn't know that would be the last time that we would ever talk. I was,so,shocked to se his obituary in the paper a few days later. It will never be the same going to Clair's. My deepest sympathy to your entire family.

My heartfelt condolences to the entire family! We grew up with Kim and Kris as childhood neighbors and that crew was the absolute best! So thankful for the times we shared. I have no doubt he was the best son, brother, husband, dad, granddad and friend anyone could ask for! Hang on to those memories to pull you through! Kim will definitely be missed! Love all of you!

I was a classmate of Kim's at HHS. He was an excellent trumpet player in the band as was I! When our family first moved to Hanover, Kim became my first best friend. Rest in peace dear old friend!

To Kims family: I wish to send you my sincere condolences to this shocking news. I have known Kim for approximately 40 years as an avid golf friend and fellow participant in the Tuesday industrial league at S Hills that he worked on behind the scenes all these years. I just spoke to him last week by phone about the challenges we are facing this year trying to play. I am grateful for his friendship and his faithfulness working for the golf leagues each year. May God bless your family during...

Kris,
Didn't know Kim well, but I remember at HHS he was one of those people others just enjoyed being around. Always irreverent, always laughing.

I remember him from working at Utz. He was a very positive man and could put a smile on your face.
