My wife and I with my sister Vicki and brother in law John Miller and our whole family want to make sure John´s whole family knows how saddened we are to hear of his passing. We all loved him. Unfortunately with a lot of families such as ours we didn´t visit as much as we wanted. But when we did he was such a story teller and a great conversationalist. A very entertaining and enjoyable guy to be around. He was always caring and concerned how we were doing during those times we missed visiting. I know how much he loved and cherished his family. It was so obvious in so many ways. I pray for my dear cousin Carolyn. There is no easy words . To the whole Kirby/Kennedy family we hope you are strong for each other. You are all in our hearts. John will be missed. Rest In Peace my brother. Your presence will always be with us.
