In July 1958, my 10-year-old self spent a month with Aunt Betty & Uncle Roy, "helping" to take care of that new cousin, Kirby Kyle Schwarzkopf! (I had three younger siblings, so I had experience changing diapers and rocking babies!) Kirby was such a sweet baby and both of his parents were so proud of him. Uncle Roy loved to hold him and play with him as soon as he got home from work. He called him "Misty Musty" (short for "Mr. Muster") I have no idea how he came up with that nickname!
My sincere condolences to the entire family,
Sherry Schwarzkopf Busse

Our thoughts and prayers are wirh all of his family. Kirby's family were a few doors down from us in the neighborhood and also graduated with Kirby. We are sad for his loss and may his granddaughter and all of his family carry fond memories forward with happy smiles and what a great person he was...he will certainly be missed by all

I am so sorry for your loss. We grew up in the same neighborhood and remembered Kirby to be the big brother whenever Wendy or Cory needed him. May your memories help you through this difficult time and our thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family.
