I didn’t know that Kirk passed away. Our family and his family grew up together. In grade school at Hatton Elementary in Bridge City, I had the biggest crush on Kirk.

Kirk was an all around great guy. I worked for him for almost two years. Though he was my boss he was a pleasure to work with. Anyone that ever met him I am sure has very fond memories of him and remembers his smile. My deepest sympathy to all family and friends.

Kirk was a wonderful person to work with, a real professional at work, and super pleasant person to know. Karla and Kirk gave us our first puppy, Fluffy, when we worked together in Maryland. Anne and I send our sympathy to Kirk's family, but in this time of sadness, I feel we should also celebrate the life of Kirk. I knew him best at work, and he was respected for his work, but more than that, people liked him and wanted to work with him. May he rest in peace and may his family rejoice in the goodness he showed so many. Anne and John Hutchison

I'm saddened to hear of the loss of Kirk. I had the privilege of working with him for almost 2 years at Signal. He was always laughing and a joy to be around. Always willing to help, and though he had tremendous knowledge and experience, never used it as leverage to exalt himself above his colleagues or condescend to those of us with less experience. Our prayers are with the family.

My sympathies to you Karla, and for the rest of Kirk's family and many friends. It was my privilege to work with Kirk for the last 6 years. As Renee said, I never saw him without a smile or heard him utter a harsh word. He was never too busy to help when I went to him for advice. A good man and friend has gone too soon.

Kirk was such a kind and considerate person. I was blessed to know him for the years I worked at Signal. I never saw Kirk without a smile and a kind word spoken. He always spoke of his wonderful wife and children and grandchildren with such love and admiration. I know Kirk heaven is going to be filled with your joy and I'm sure you will be building hotels for the animals that are there. I will miss you my friend.
