Gladys, Delmar & Family.



I'm sorry to hear of your loss, I can’t imagine how sad you must feel at this time, but knowing that a better place has been prepared for him, does provide some relief.



Also having one of his little sisters there to show him the ropes does help as well. I Imagine them now playing as they did as kids, or maybe just reminiscing, and catching up on things, since they last talked.



Reading about his life, I see a lot of fun, adventures and many memories you all will have to cherish in this time. This time is of course, one of sadness, but it’s also a time to remember; the good times, the funny stories, the good in this worlds that was cause by him being here, I saw many in this short article, you all could be proud of.



Thanks for listening.

I am deeply sorry about Kent's departing. I worked with Kent for several years at Homestake as Trackmen and really enjoyed every day of it. He will be greatly missed.
