Kent was my aunt's and my father-in- law's boss at Seavey and Florshiem for many years and I used to type Mrs Randall Klein's travel diaries. Kent was a very nice fellow.

I knew Kent all my life as well as his brother and his folks, Peg and Randall. They were all favorite people. Kent was also a close friend of my brother, Bill Peverill .who died a couple weeks ago. I remember Kent when he was at Shattuck. Kent was a great guy from a wonderful family.

Kent was my mediator and he was a wise compassionate man..he loved his family fishing trips and was the Lord's fisher of men. He will be missed by all who knew him..I hope one day he will welcome me into eternity.
