I think of Kit often and always with smile. He had a way getting me on the right track thinking positively when I was down.
I keep in touch with a few of our Mirka friends. Kit is always included in or phone conversations.
Still miss my friend.

Kit was a very good friend. We worked for several companies together, managing to work thru business problems together when we needed to and always finding time to laugh, enjoy and take things lightly whenever we could.
I remember and liked his dry sense of humor. He had me laughing so many times and always left me in a positive frame of mind. I am grateful for that.
I am sad that Kit has passed on and like so many others, I will miss him.
May The Lord look after Linda and his family.
