Bill Kirk was one of the sweetest, gentle, man that I ever knew. He had the heart of a giant, and the patience of a saint. I was his wifes Hospice volunteer for a year and such a devoted man you could ever find. He will be missed by many and I will miss him for a long time. Rest in peace Bill, you really deserve it!

Bill Kirk was one of the finest, gentlist man and he was one of a kind, I knew him as a loving husband who cared for his wife for 10 years alone with no help when she was sick until Hospice came in and gave him some much needed help. He will be missed by me and many other friends who cared for him.
