Kirk was an special friend to me for many years. He gave me a unique gift. The gift of time. He spent hours and hours of his time teaching me how to become computer literate. He even helped me buy my first real computer. I would call him at all hours worried about the "blue screen" and he would tell me how to fix it over the phone. He was an excellent pc technician. If it was not for Kirk I would still be using my Apple 11E. We helped each other out in many ways. He introduced me to his family and we spent a lot of quality time together. I shall miss him very much and always remember him for the fine friend that he was.

I am having a really hard time believing this. I can't understand it at all. Kirk was so much more than a friend to me. He was like a brother I never had. He helped me so much in my life. Kirk helped me when no one else was there for me. I am gonna miss him so much. I feel so sorry for his family and Ron, and the cats. They will be so sad without him.
