Pat, Debby, and David... I just stumbled upon this notice. I am very sorry to read of this loss. My condolences go to all of you and your families. I have many memories of your husband and father...he was a very unique man! An excellent carpenter, avid hunter, landscape perfectionist, and a father-in-law with a strong handshake, and a fearful eye.

I can still hear his roar.

I'm so sorry to hear of Kermit's passing. He was a generous, kind and goodhearted neighbor. He seemed to love the dogs of the neighborhood. My dog Artie and I will miss him greeting us from his driveway.

We'll always remember Kermit as a kind neighbor, watching over the neighborhood from his perch on the electric box. His love of Bluebirds led to many backyard conversations and led me to love them too. He will be missed. Pat and family, you are in our prayers. "God Bless "
