Puzzles, the Pirates and and smoking the pipe. These are some fond memories I have of Grandpa K. I remember playing golf in the backyard and going in for some food and helping out with the puzzle. I remember his model car collection well and how he knew each car in there and was rather excited to talk to me about them. He is loved and already missed so much by many, my thoughts and prayers to everyone out in Ohio, love you all so much.

I cannot express how much this pains me to hear this news. The Kindsvatter family was so kind to me growing up and their residence was like my second home. Mr. Kins knew his sports and ALWAYS had my respect anytime I was around him. Sometimes words aren't enough to truly express what someone meant to you but I will tell you he was someone's opinion that I always valued. His slant on the world always made an impact to me and I knew that I could talk to him about anything. The years go by and we lose contact with the people who made a difference but thank God, the memory of those people still burn inside. Thank you to Mr. Kins for being one of those pivotal people in my youth. My deepest sympathy to the entire Kindsvatter family and thank you again for everything that you did for me.
