We have lived on the same street with Mr. and Mrs. Kimsey for 20 years. He was the kindest person and always went out of his way to say hi! As he crossed the street, he’d always say ‘Molly wants to say hi, too!’, as she happily jumped on you and gave you kisses! We are so sorry for your loss, and you all are in our thoughts and prayers. May Mr. Kinsey Rest In Peace. He will be missed.

I have known Gene and Helen for 21 years and every day you saw Gene walking to the mailbox with his dog Molly and then Buddy after Molly passed away. Gene didn't know a stranger, he was the first one to welcome you to the neighborhood and always made you feel welcome. If you needed anything, Gene was the first person to offer up his services. He will be missed. God Bless you Gene! God Bless you Helen and your family!

Gene and Helen have been my neighbors for 21 years and Gene was a familiar fixture on our street, every day he would walk to the mailbox with Molly and then Buddy after Molly passed away. Gene did not know a stranger; if you were new to our street, Gene was right there welcoming you to the neighborhood. He was a lot of fun to chat with and I know he will be missed by all of us. God bless you Gene and your family.
