Our family was blessed to have had the enormous good fortune to have lived next door to Kerry and Yvette for over 10 years. As first-time home owners, it was daunting to look over at their garden that would have done Butchart Gardens proud; not to mention seeing their perfect lawn that wouldn't have been out of place at Augusta National. Perfection to say the least; but oh how Kerry and Yvette enjoyed gardening to keep it looking that way. Over the years much was learned from Kerry, who never failed to offer expert guidance or a tool (usually both) to rescue me from some ill-fated home repair task I thought I could tackle. He taught me so much. And with the arrival of our girls Dana and Erin, we'll always remember the silly songs Kerry would sing while bouncing one or the other of them on his knee. Now, many years later, I often find myself thinking of Kerry when coming up against a home repair or gardening project. I'll stop, wonder how Kerry would approach the job, and smile to myself like he was still working alongside me. Kerry was truly one of the best and an inspiration to so many. Wishing Yvette and all of the family peace and comfort.
