Wishing the whole Kittredge family blessings of peace and the knowledge he is at rest now. I met him once at Kringle. The Fall candles were out. He approached a group of older women saying he worked there. He entreated them to help decide which shade of orange they should use for the "new candle". He wore casual clothes, a sweater vest. They had no idea who he was!! He was delighted by them and the ladies by him. He had such a twinkle in his eye. When they were out of earshot I complimented...

Our condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Kittredge. Our prayers are that you are comforted and strengthened by the promise of a time when our loved ones dont have to encounter sickness.

A most generous friend and lover of automobiles, wonderful scents and his employees. So glad you have touched our lives. You will be missed. My condolences to the family, thanks for sharing Michael!
