Kirk brought so much joy to our family. We spent many days at Ginger Cove with Kirk and Jean and Jerry.
I will never forget his snicker and smile. Everything was more fun when Kirk was there. Thinking of you Rhonda. Lots of love, Amy Weesner Clare

I'm really going to miss seeing Kirk around the lake. In the boat, on the tiki bar, toodling around in the golf cart. He was one of those people who made me feel like he was always damn glad to see me. I'm sorry for all of you. He was one of a kind.

Rhonda, I´m sorry for you and your family´s loss. I worked with the "Big Swede" at Fantasy´s. He was always a pleasure to see and hear with that laugh and gig smile of his. Kirk´s family was his pride and joy and it showed. He will be missed.
