I remember Kleon as a model neighbor. He was always ready to offer a smile and a helping hand. Kleon will always be my "Secret Santa". He would cooperate with my parents (and Rida) to keep up the appearance of Santa's magic. Mom and dad would make an excuse for the whole family to go out on a brief errand. While we were out, Kleon and Rida would quickly stage our gifts under the tree and stuff the stockings.
Dear Faith & Family,We are so sorry for your loss and we know exactly how you feel right now, especially since we lost Dirk a year ago. Time will ease your pain. Think about all the good times you had with your dad. We have known Kleon almost as long as you have. We've been friends with your folks for 56 years and we will miss him too. We always enjoyed seeing his improvement projects and I'm sure he is still working on one. God must have needed another carpenter.May God Bless You And Your Family.Richard & Marge
