The Kirtleys opened their home and their hearts to us. Helped us by showing us Palm Coast, stayed at their home with great dinners by Debbie (the best hosts ever), purchased land, and finally build a home in Palm Coast. We became the best of friends. We had lots in common, and had a good time together. The Naval Academy, The Navy, Great Food and wine, playing cards, going out to terrific restaurants, and of course the forever laughter from all the jokes that Kirtley would tell. And his comedy shows that we will never forget. We love and miss you Kirtley, and wish we could have just one more good dinner together with lots of wine, good espresso, and great desserts. We miss you Kirtley, a lot, a lot. Anna and Bill Goodwin, your adopted friends.
My wife and I went to several of his comedy performances at the Gypsy Cab Company in St. Augustine. He was terrific. I also invited him, an Annapolis grad, to be the guest speaker at a West Point Class of 1966 dinner during a golf outing. Again, he was terrific and appreciated by all. He will be missed; I will miss him.
