Thinking of you upon this mild rainy day, Just wanted to say Hey, In so many ways.Its been awhile since youre venture began. In hopes you have found things to keep you busy, Im sure you have, hope you and my Dad are doing good deeds and behaving . Wanted to let you Know that Virgil and Brandon both got moose this season, luck of the draw, they both were excited, the moose were only 1 pound apart in weight. My grandson Skyler got a couple of ducks the other day, he is into the hunting for sure, I cooked them and thought of the ones that we had up at deer camp, We sure had some good meals together, and alot of good conversations. Certainly enjoyed sitting around with you and dad and listening to stories of days gone by, and loved to smell the pipe smoke , I still light up mine once in a while with my cherry tobacco, (remembering.) Memories are what get me threw alot of my days, because of good ole boys like you and my dad. I am very proud to have you as my family and as a friend, You will never be forgotten, keep the smoke a rising ole boy and our memories will keep you close to our hearts and in our thoughts, (till we meet again) Love from Linda and Scott

We will miss Karl so very much. Enjoyed having Bonnie bring him over for a chat. He liked that too. Was so nice seeing all the family too. Bonnie, Kate, Jo, Laurie and Dwight. And Dwight's Daughter. Your family is special with a lot of love and compassion. Karl was so lucky to have you and you were lucky to have him for your Dad. Sterling will miss his visits with Karl. He is Heaven looking down on you all and he is happy and free of pain. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. xoxo etc.

Dad loved fishing, summer and winter. The last time I went ice fishing was one sunny February day when Dad invited me to go with him and Donald Trahan. Donald had a sweet shanty complete with a little kitchen. We soon had the heater going and it was warm as toast in there. We caught perch and skinned them right there on the spot. Donald boiled them and we had 'poor man's shrimp'. We had a wee nip of brandy, joked,laughed and fished all day. What a fond memory.

Dad, I guess I received my love of chocolate from you. I agree with you, Hershey's chocolate bars are the best! Breakfast, lunch or dinner it doesn't matter. Every time I eat my chocolate, I will think of you. :)

To My Friends in the Kinney Family! My heart goes out to all of you during such a difficult time. Your memories of Karl in the obituary were so touching. He was in such a good place at Our Lady of the Meadows, all the same it is not easy to lose someone you love so much. HUGS for all of you! See you Saturday. Love Kathy Fraties Rossner

When I played basketball as a child, Dad was my biggest fan. He cheered me on from the sidelines, and cheered me on in other areas of my life. Like catching fish and snakes. I enjoyed watching westerns on TV with him, and shows about nature. Dad was so generous. He never had much wealth, but he always shared what he had. When I brought my children over to visit, he always gave them quarters from his poker till. Dad always made us laugh with captivating stories. I will cherish my memories of him forever.

I don't think there are enough words to express love. Maybe it is enough just to know beyond any doubt that it is there. I told Dad that I believe love will outlast our bodies. I think that is what makes it the only thing of value. It lasts forever. I only had to look in Dad's eyes to know love. How great is that!? Thanks Dad.

To the Kinney Family, Very sad to hear of the loss of you father/grandfather Kinney. Whenever I would visit him, I always felt like he was happy to see me. He made me feel welcomed, which is a wonderful trait in a person. He will be missed.

My grandfather always made me smile! I loved listening to his story's and joke's. Even if he was hard to understand sometimes with a pipe in his mouth I would sit their and just listen. I loved the sound of his quiet tender voice. He also knew I had a big sweet tooth just like him! I remember when he would come visit us in the Alburg house he would bring each of us kids our own bag of M&M's every time! I loved his big warm hugs just like my dads :) Im very proud to be a Kinney, my grandfather was a wonderful man! I Love you Grandpa! I will miss u dearly, and will hold you close to my heart with all the special memories <3 xoxo

Dad taught me so many things. How to repair small engines, plug a tire, change my oil and spark plugs, clean my chimney, catch a fish, play poker. Most of all wealth. True wealth, that comes not from having money, but by having love. We took our morning walks together for many years. I'd go to his house, or he'd come to mine, and we'd walk from two to five miles every day. We played cards together for years. Romaine and I would team up against Dad and whomever else was there. Romaine and I would cheat, and I'm pretty sure Dad always knew. When I was in the 7th grade Dad and Mom got me a piano. Dad loved it when I played and would sing along with me. When we were children he'd ask, "Who wants to bring me my pipe?" And Lori and I would scurry to see who could get there first to present him with it. Thank you Dad, for a wonderful childhood and a lifetime of love. We will love you always.

I remember Dad as an educator. He started teaching me math when I was four years old by writing simple equations in the sawdust on the barn floor with a stick. He went on through my child hood teaching me so much about life. He taught me to be kind and thoughtful of others, he taught me how to fix machinery, he taught me how to hunt and fish, he taught me good work ethics. I was born handicapped and he taught me how to overcome my handicaps and live a normal and fruitful life and the list goes on and on. He was the greatest educator of my life and he did not have a formal education himself. I remember Dad as the most honest person I ever met. I am not aware of him ever telling a lie. I remember Dad as a very generous man. He didn’t have much but he would give the shirt off his back to a stranger in need. I remember Dad as a therapist, he always had answers to my emotional problems and always knew how to make me feel better about any situation. I remember Dad as a very social person, he had more friends than anyone else and he loved to visit and joke with them. He was a chatterbox. I remember thinking many times throughout my life that I wish I had as many friends as he had. Most of all I remember how much I loved my Dad and I will never forget him. Rest in Peace Dad, Your son Dwight.

As as child, I always saw my Dad as a stern disciplinarian. At about the age of 14, after being at a friend´s house overnight, Dad welcomed me home with a hug so wonderful, that I suddenly knew what a warm, wonderful person he was, and that he loved me beyond reason. I really don´t remember a lot of criticism from Dad, but I DO remember a WHOLE LOT of praise. He was always praising his kids, even into our adulthood. Sometimes it even embarrassed me, because it was so effusive....I just KNEW we couldn´t be THAT good!
