Don Kirkpatrick

Don was a great friend and a good man. He was a father figure to me when I desperately needed one. Don and his wonderful wife, Rusty, were instrumental figures in my life. They were (and Rusty still is) kind, gracious and loving people. They represent the very best in Southern humanity and hospitality. I am a better man, husband, father, grandfather and Christian thanks to them.

In loving gratitude,

In loving memory of a wonderful person. I love you and miss you always.

Rusty, words can not express the sorrow we feel upon hearing of Don's passing. I'm so sorry for not attending the funeral as Ginger and I were in North Carolina for the weekend. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.love Wink & Ginger

Don was a cherished Member at Vestavia Country Club for 55 years. His many friends here (both staff and Member) will remember him fondly. Our thoughts and prayers are with Rusty and their family.

I would like to extend my sympathy to Donald's family. My father and Donald's mother were siblings, making us first cousins. Although because of time, circumstances, and our age differences, we were never around one another very often, I am sad to learn of his passing. I have been told I resemble my Aunt Dolly, who was Donald's mother.

Condolences to Don`s family.

My condolences to the Kirkpatrick family.

I have fond memories of Don from when I worked as a part-time office boy after school each day at the downtown Public Relations and Advertising Associates (PRAA) firm where he was an associate. He and Tom Little created the "Yetti the Wonder Dog" radio spots for a client and I watched them record a spot one day at Boutwell Studios. That was a very interesting thing for a 17 year old kid to do! I attended one of the Hello Dolly performances and I remember Carol Channing having some nice things to say on stage about Don after the show.
