Kim loved the great outdoors and enjoyed hunting, trapping, and fishing. He was a member of the Minnesota Trapper’s Association. Kim was a Master Carpenter of forty plus years and loved fixing the unfixable. He was a storyteller where one subject could lead into one or more tales. Anyone who ever visited with him could agree to that.

A faithful husband, a loving father, a best friend, a Republican, he loved God, family and this country. He worked hard but made sure he took time to play kickball and baseball with his children. He enjoyed time spent teaching them about hunting, fishing and the many other things he could help them learn about. Kim also helped his children collect Lionel electric trains over the years. Kim’s family was everything to him.
