"Hailey, Hunter and Alex. I'm so sorry you guys have to go through this. Such a sudden loss of someone you love seems so unfair. He loved you guys so much.Your dad was such a great person. Everybody loved him, and to be around him. He had more friends than anyone I've ever known (because how could you not like the guy).He was always a good time and could make you laugh at any random moment with an unexpected comeback or a smart ass comment. If you needed someone to talk to, he was always there to listen and you could tell him anything. If he said he was gonna do something, he Damn sure did it. You could always count on him. You guys already know this though, and it was obvious to those around him what kind of guy he was. Every time I talked to him (and it was usually at least a couple of times a week) he always mentioned family. Talking about Funny stuff one of the kids might have said or texted with him about, milestones each of them were coming up on or just proud tales of achievement. He was always so proud of his kids and he always let everyone know. He is guaranteed with you kids forever no doubt about it. I know he wouldn't have it any other way. "
In loving memory of
Kory F. Kaufmann
