What can i say.... my 'FRIEND', my brother .......a huge void has been created...i've wanted to call you and speak to you several times over the last 10 days or so and then I realized that aint gonna happen any more....its sucks...i can count on one hand, actually half a hand, the amount people that i consider friends, and you were my #1.... So unique and special,.......Make me laugh ? ...you had special skills from God.... had your flaws like all of us, but a Real Man... never complained, kept it tight lipped...always looked forward to seeing you, having drink with you.....appreciated your sense of humor, ...but now that's all gone....this ranks up there with the loss of my son 12 years ago.....wish i was in Heaven with you ....45+ years of history with you,,,,tomorrow is going to be a tough day, watching you go in the ground .....Rest in Peace KBB

I went to BHT with Kerry. Although we were in different shops, he was in my class all four years. I remember his great sense of humor, his easy going attitude, and his quick smile. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. May you all find strength and peace in your shared memories.
With love, Cathi

What great times with my BHT Buddy senior year and in home room. Memories of doing electrical work for you starting out in business. You were full of energy, excitement and kindness. Prayers for peace for your family. You will be missed.
