I am sad to report the passing of our classmate Kirby Wells. I will take the liberty of posting the email I received from his daughter.

I am writing to everyone on my father�s contact list to let you know of his passing yesterday. My mom has lost the love of her life, and we have each lost the presence of a very gentle, sweet, kind man. He loved my sister and I more than words could cover. He was fortunate enough to have spent his last days with us in great spirits. We had dinner Sunday and I cut his hair. As some of you may or may not know, there were times in life when my dad and I didn�t see eye to eye. I am very grateful that over the course of the last 5 years, we not only made amends, but we truly got to know each other and enjoy each other for the many gifts we had to offer. I�m lucky he took the opportunity and forever changed by the experience of it. I�m trying to call those who were especially close, so bare with me. I have only his email contact list and am actively seeking the telephone numbers. Funeral services will be announced later today. On a lighter note, when I asked dad where he thought he might end up after this life, he calmly stated that he hoped wherever it was, it would indeed be tax-free. We share that sense of humor.
