My sincerest sympathy and prayers go out to the entire Kintner family. God Bless you all. This world has lost a man I knew of as being a sweet, gentle uncle but whom I also knew has having such tremendous strength as he faced many adverse events in his life with courage and grace. A true marine, a great man. A role model for humanity. Our loss is truly Heavens gain.
