To the Stevenson Family. My heart felt condolences to you. Kim was such a nice person.
I have worked with Kim at the York Train Show for many years. He was one of my very capable and well liked Hall Captains. I was saddened to hear of his death. May he rest in peace with the Lord and his trains.

Kim, we sure are going to miss you at the train shows. Purple Hall Captain at York, you had coffee available and even bought chicken for the other vendors in that hall. I'm so thankful I got to see you and visit with Diane just a few days before you passed. You put on a great face that day, I never expected you to pass that soon. Thank you for that special memory that I will have forever. Rest in peace Kim, we'll take it from here. Rest assured you have many friends to help Diane and your family. Many Prayers already sent and more on the way for the Stevensons.

Kim was a good friend over the years, and a pleasure to spend time with. We had good times traveling together at shows and enjoying dinners after a hard days work. I'll miss all the conversations and his dry humor "You know what I mean Bill". His favorite statement, sail on captain Kim. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I always enjoyed talking with Kim at Lions meetings. We would talk about trains and I enjoyed hearing where he was heading for various train shows. He was super organized for the Lions annual fundraiser and did an amazing job of that. I know he is at peace now and nothing can hurt him. I will continue to pray for strength for Diane at this difficult time.

I was so sorry to hear that Kim was ill and even sorrier to hear that he had passed. We served as Lions District Governors the same year. He was one of the nicest people I knew. I know he got his wings and is at peace. I'll be thinking of and praying for Diane and family as they go through this difficult time. Karen Brady

Mr. Stevenson was my favorite teacher. I still love math and that is because of him. I still remember he had allergies to flowers and color blind. He was one of the best. Very sorry for your great loss.
