Kim was such a nice man. When his wife needed help I was there to help him out by taking her to her appointments. You will be missed and I have missed our chats on FB. Rest in peace my friend...... Peggy

So sorry to hear of Kim´s passing. He was very honest, smart, and loyal. He was great to work with and he had a keen sense of humor. My father and I always enjoyed our discussions about a wide range of topics with Kim. Kim had an excellent grasp of business and management and we were grateful for Kim´s excellent contribution to our business, and his friendship. God Bless Kim and his Family, now and always. Dave Hill.
