Shirley & family, We loved T.K. and will miss him terribly just as each of you will. He had a great spirit and loved so many things that he hoped to do after retirement. We are just sorry that his health kept him from doing most of them. It was a blessing knowing and being with him. We are glad he is no longer in pain and not suffering, his Christmas this year will be like none other. God's blessings to all of you. May friends, great memories, and our Lord Jesus Christ sustain, comfort and keep you forever and always. Betty and Bary
