I am hoping someone will see this. I have looked for Kirk online many times and never found him. Kirk was the Best Man at my small wedding in a Lutheran Church in downtown Chicago in 1966. Kirkl and my husband Gene Hydinger we're room mates when I dated and married Gene. They both worked for Kirks grandfather. Later we all went to Lake Okoboji and stayed with Kirks parents, where his mother made me a maternity outfit. Very nice people. We lost touch with Kirk over the years. I have wedding documents with Kirks signature. I am so sorry that Kirk passed and was always hoping we would see him again. Gene and I divorced after having two sons. He married twice more and had a son in eacha marriage. Gene passed away in October, 2018, several weeks before his 78th birthday.
If you get this message I am at 303-430-4259. I am so saddened to hear this.

So sorry to hear of Kirk's passing. Please accept my deepest sympathies to his entire family. He truly had an extended insurance family as he was always very well respected in the industry and any business interaction resulted in a lifetime friendship. I remember Kirk's big smile and willingness to always assist. I don't think I ever saw him loose his cool. I learned much from him, and I am glad our paths were able to cross in this lifetime. A star is shining brighter in the night sky, and it's Kirk's smile.

So sad and surprised to lose Kirk. He was always very positive and truly had fun at whatever activity he was doing, even (or especially!) just sharing a story. Terrence, Francesca and Family...

I am so sorry to hear that Kirk has passed. When I was a young attorney attending all the insurance industry functions, Kirk befriended me and was always positive, friendly and upbeat. Even when we couldn't do business together, Kirk was above all that and great guy. I never had a bad conversation or time with Kirk. I never saw him without a smile on his face for over 20 years in a tough business. I pray that he did not suffer and that he will be remembered as a great colleague. I mourn your loss.

very Sincerely, Judge Jeffrey L. Warnick
