So sorry to hear this. I remember Karl and I making forts with empty boxes from the furniture store when we were kids. Brings back lots of good memories...

My deepest sympathies to all family.
I have fond memories of being with my mother as she purchased furniture at the store.
Also memories of his father, stopping the hearse my grandfather was in, in front of the family home in Robinson township.
I also babysat briefly for the Kinkema children.
The first time was so memorable at their big Victorian home and the lights went out!
May he Rest In Peace and may his memory be a blessing.
