I remember many great times with Kerry when we would go down south. We played with trucks under the big tree in the side yard, walked the tracks, ran to the trestle to watch the trains and listened to the stories our elders told at Grandma’s place. Those were simple times. I always enjoyed hanging out with him when we were young. He had a gentle kindness about him. RIP Kerry Nate.
