Our Dear Cousin,
We will miss you terribly even though we didn't see you often enough. You never missed sending me a birthday card as well as a Christmas card.  You were always at family events near and far. May you rest in peace with your Mom and our beloved "Aunty Who."
Your cousins,
Jeff and Debi

Kent was the best of friends for everyone, especially for me. I can easily say that I was closer to him than my own brother. I always knew he was there for me. I cannot imagine California or Los Gotos without him. He seemed to always know everyone and even if he didn't, he said hello anyway. I miss him terribly. He is in good company now with Ansel and Morley to watch over him. Hugs, nance

Kent was one of those rare people who enriched the lives of all those he came in contact with, whether they be a relative, a friend, or a complete stranger. Since our first meeting in 1995, Betsy & I enjoyed his company on so many occasions – photo workshops in Morocco and the Palouse, dinners together in Los Gatos, and those annual Baerly Masters gatherings to which he contributed so much.  We will miss him immensely, for his great stories, his good humor and his love of life.  Au Revoir, Kent

Kent,
You slid into the final wash your way - and much too soon.  Maybe you should have spent a few more years with us in here in the fading fixer.  But now you're with the masters, floating around in the cosmos regaling each other with stories - some of which even may be true.

So long, old friend.  It's been good to know ya!
