I am so sorry to hear this- Karen (and often Chris) watched my son Jens when he was a baby- always laughing, always welcoming and loving. Love to all of you! Cathleen Newberg and Jens Rommel

Kit was a dear cousin of mine and a cherished part of my young childhood years. I shared many happy times hanging out with Kit and his siblings. Later we kept in touch by sending Christmas cards and sharing some special occasions. I am truly thankful and grateful that I did have a recent visit with Kit and his loving wife, Karen. Thanks for all the wonderful memories KIt. Love you. My deepest sympathy goes out to Karen and all of Kit's family.

With Love,
Harriet Carter

First, he was a great friend. He always had an ear to listen and gave great advice. He was the best boss, fair and understanding. What an incredible sense of humor!! He loved dressing for Halloween. I can remember for Halloween he would walk through the neighborhood in his masks or costumes. At work he would hide in the trucks or behind boxes and pop out to scare the guys in the warehouse. Loved that guy!!!
