My in law....Not! My Brother! You were the only one that called me Vieve! My fondest memory was of you taking my son Clint on a train ride !After first try fell though my son was devastated crying inconsolably,you promised it would happen! And it did! I made some lsandwiches and off you went! Along your trip you crossed a tressell bridge with a drop that was sooo deep, Clint asked his Uncle Kerry aren't you scared of falling off? Without missing a beat Kerry said..."Well I wasn't until you mentioned it!" Lol Kerry shared that story! A truly loving generous man who strongly stood for his Family! And loved them dearly! My sister Sandy was always his Sandy Bear mauling her till the end! RIP my brother I already miss talking Trump and Politics!β€οΈ

I was shocked to here of Kerry's passing. My condolences to all the DeBlaere's and Craigi's at this difficult time. Although it has been quite awhile since I last seen Kerry, he was an upbeat life of the party. Time passes so quickly. May the good Lord bless and keep him well on the next chapter in the journey of life...
