Linda, my sincerest sympathy go out to you and your family. Kerry was a funny and friendly classmate. You two had an amazing number of years together. Am keeping you in my prayers.

I remember Kerry from Ramona High School. After graduation, I left the area and lost contact with the friends I had made my senior year of high school. Sounds like Kerry not only was brave and held a love for our country, giving service to his country, but went on in his profession, married life and role model to his children and his community. May your memories bring you comfort until you are reunited in heaven.

When I earned a transfer to Layout and Development, Kerry was an inspector there! He was always friendly and a cool person to talk to. He worked with both me and my father. I felt extreme sorrow when I read about his passing. He was one of the good ones that I was fortunate to have worked with at Rohr.
