It's been two weeks since you joined your folks in a place we'll all come together again. I'll remember your jolly smile, your hearty laugh, your booming bass, your love of patchouli. As a great reader and teller of stories, you always offered interesting conversation.
I will miss you, the gentle giant that you are, until the day we meet again. Love to you, Bruce and Merrilyn.

Lee, sorry to hear about Kim. I didn't know him very well, except as your kid brother when you & I were in junior high & high school. 58 is way too young. I have fond memories of hanging out at the Gerletti's house. Take care.

Lee and family, this is an old friend from Royal Oak, just wanting you to know that I remember Kim as fun, gregarious, and possessing one of the baudiest senses of humor...I may not have seen him since High School, but I was glad to reconnect with him not so long ago, online. He's gone too soon....he will be missed. RIP, old friend.

Diane, Lee and Reid: My memories of Kim were always full of fun,vigor and excitement. I remember one many years ago I when I lived in Venice. I got a call on short notice from Kim that a Limo was waiting to take us out for a night on the town in Sarasota. It was a great evening and much fun. I hope to see you all soon..........

From Royal Oak to San Francisco to Sarasota, I made and shared lifelong memories with Kim and his brother Lee over more than forty years. Kim left us too soon, and I'll sorely miss his friendship, smile and laughter.
