Not sure what to say?

Mr.Bickley was a kind and generous man. I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Bickley on numerous occasions and each time was better than the last. RIP.

Rick, The girls, and I always looked forward to seeing Kirby & Annie Ruth at McDonald's on Sundays. We already miss Annie Ruth...now we'll miss Kirby just as much. But we know he's with Lillian, Annie Ruth, his other siblings, and his parents again. We can say we'll have a great welcoming commitee when we get to heaven. Thoughts & prayers are with you all, and God bless.

Mr. Bickley was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. Our prayers are with the family and may Mr. Bickley rest in peace. WIth love, Keith, Lori and Tyler Drafts. ??

Many fond childhood memories of Mr. Kirby. I was always so excited to see him at church. Rest in peace Mr. Kirby. I know a lot of people will be there to greet you in Heaven....Kathy Lindler

There are no words to describe this loss. My heart hurts for losing such a wonderful grandfather, but I'm encouraged that he's finally with his love, his parents and siblings and my dad. Knowing they are all reunited gives hope for when it is my time to join them. I love you grandpop, always and forever. Thank you for loving me even though I graduated from "the other school" and giving me my fighting tiger spirit! GO TIGERS!

May Mr Kirby Rest in Peace.
Larry S. Meetze and Wife Diane.

Kirby was the ultimate "courtly gentleman" who treated everyone he met with kindness. On every greeting, he welcomed us as if we were the ones he had been waiting on to see all day. Kirby left us behind Monday as he entered Heaven where his parents and siblings welcomed him "home" - he'll be part of the welcome committee when we enter Heaven. We already miss you, our friend.

He and Aunt Lillian, along with all of my aunts and uncles from "down home" will always have a special place in my memory and heart. I will always love remembering Uncle Kirby"s and Daddy's laughter. I will also remember the warm Clemson clique Uncle Kirby had with my husband Terry, who then, was new to the family. Uncle Kirby made him feel like he was always part of the family. I know it is a sad and tragic loss to all of you, he left behind, but it fills my heart with joy, that he is...

His loss will be greatly felt by all who loved him. Happiness and pleasant memories are what he left behind. He and Daddy had so many hearty laughs together along with all those people that used to gather around that wonderful lazy susan table in Wagner. I will always remember Uncle Kirby in terms of joking, laughter and acceptance. Those good natured fights over football and fried chicken still take place in my mind. A true gentleman and a good sport. I love him. He made my childhood so much...
