I was remembering many times when my family visited you guys down in Goshen on the farm. We always had a good time playing as cousins. I had not seen Kay for years, and the picture looks a lot like your Dad. I would like to have come to the Graveside service, but the weather was just too bad. I guess you are the only one left in your family now Doug - the same for me in my family, and we are getting old. I send love and condolences to you and your family. YVonne

I am grateful to have known our Uncle Kay. He spent his days mostly to himself because of allergies and some life experiences. Despite that, he had a good attitude and excelled in the beautiful yard and garden that he and Grandma loved to work in. His rabbits droppings are what made it so productive. He was there for Grandma and she was able to stay in her home because of his caring support. Thank you Kay!

Uncle Kay was a good man & we had many good conversations. He grew the most fantastic garden & raised white rabbits. I remember he was a big Elvis fan. He will be missed. My condolences to all the family.
