  13. Tim McDonald

    I was so sorry to learn of Kit’s passing. I first remember meeting Kit at bowling about 30 years ago and what a bowler he was. So smooth on the lane, I remember us teenagers wishing we could be that good. I know that the last months have been tough at times, but you were all there to do what had to be done – to care for him and love him, every minute of every day. He was a lucky guy to have such a dedicated family. My thoughts are with his family at this very sad time.

  14. Sharon & Philip

    When Jo-Anna called me, my heart was heavy with sorrow. I will miss our days together. Take comfort in knowing he talked of all you very highly, and looked forward to seeing you walk in the door. He always told me how truly lucky he was to have such a great family, to be with him every day so that he could do what he wanted to do.. which was stay in his home. You were able to make it happen. To Kit, my little lovebug, rest assured in the coming days we will all be there to support your family. Our thoughts are with you all. Hugs
