Kirk Kranz, January 13, 1968-January 15, 2024

        Kirk Kranz, married to my niece, Susan Negstad, was living in Brookings, S.D., working as a construction supervisor on a large project in Nebraska. He had an apartment in which he stayed near the construction site. He spent every other weekend at home with Susan. When he didn't come to work on Wednesday, a welfare check found him dead.

    Kirk graduated from South Dakota State University with a degree in engineering management. After graduating he worked several construction projects including erecting wind towers in Maine. Another job had him designing grain handling units for farms.      

    It's hard to grasp death at age 56. It was always a pleasure to be with Kirk. His subtle humor enlivened many a conversation. Kaia and I will be returning to The Little House to attend his funeral on Monday.

   Rest in peace, Kirk...you were much loved!

Takk for alt,

Al

That is just terrible. Am so sorry for Susan. Such a tough deal. How is she holding up? Thinking good thought for her and all of you.
