Kerry, we talked about how both of us wanted to hang on until the rapture but you told God you would leave early, if that is what He wanted. And you did. Best Bible teacher I ever had. You are loved and will be missed.

We are so saddened to learn of Kerry's passing. I worked with Kerry at Shenigo Construction for 13 years, and it would be hard to find a more decent fella than Kerry...always upbeat, and always a pleasure to chat with, whether it was his beloved Vikings, or our shared political leanings. Our prayers are with you and all of his family.
