Kirby was known far and wide with many years of service as groundskeeper, mechanic, and anything else that needed attention at Hidden Valley Golf and Country Club. After retirement from Hidden Valley, Kirby used his skills with small engine repair at his home where he repaired anything with an engine. Never one to be still for long, Kirby enjoyed his time casting a line with his buddy Thurman.  Kirby will be missed by his family and friends, but the local fish population will probably increase in number.
