Kaye was a daily contact during my career with the Utilities Department through his retirement. He was a good co-worker and friend.

Kaye, I'll miss all your crazy stories whether they were true or false; you had a way to make everyone believe you. I have for some time now missed our trips to Laughlin, NV going through 3 States just to get there drinking grape soda and eating liver sausage and crackers and the time we took a Greyhound Bus that normally takes us 3 1/2 hours to get there, but this trip took us way too long stopping at every Greyhound Bus Station in-between 21st Street & Buckeye in Phoenix, AZ to Laughlin, AZ...those were the days! Rest in Peace Kaye. Love, Audrey
