Dear Kirk family, Just wanted you to know you are all in our thoughts and prayers. The Kelly's and Kirk's go way back, my grandfather ( Ed Kelly) and Rick's grandfather (Lee Kirk) where good friends they served as Payne County Commissioners together for many years. They also shared their love of racing horses. Laren remembers Lee Kirk gave Rick a tractor when he was in about the 8th grade, Rick and David would drive tractor over to Mehan to play with the Field boys. They would go down to Stillwater Creek and swing on a cable and Rick broke his arm. Good memories.
