Mr. Kirk passed away Monday at his Waxahachie residence, after an eight year battle with cancer. He was born July 5, 1927 near the Longbranch Community, the son of Roy Hugh and Mary Roberta (Sandeford) Kirk. He attended schools at Pleasant Mound near Dallas, Marvin Elementary in Waxahachie, Sterrett in Ellis County, Ball High in Galveston and Waxahachie High School.

He married Claire Elaine McKay on February 22, 1947 at Farley Street Baptist Church in Waxahachie, the Reverend L. H. Raney officiating. In 1978 they moved into the house where Claire was born, 327 University Avenue. He retired in 1990 to enjoy his favorite pastime of fishing and puttering around the house.
