Kim graduated from Arlington Heights High School in 1956. He received a BA in Psychology in 1963 and later returned to TCU to complete the certification in ranch management. He retired from Lockheed Martin in 2002. Kim competed in bareback riding and bull riding as a teen and, once he wised up, was simply a lifelong fan of the sport. In addition to his treasured Fort Worth Stock Show rodeo, he traveled to other rodeos in Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, New Mexico and Oregon. Kim was incredibly proud of each of his children, and the exceptional adults they have become and the great families they have raised. He cherished and supported Connie and shared her sense of adventure for over 30 years. He loved hanging out with family. Kim made friends everywhere he went and enjoyed spending time with those closest to him. He loved his animal family, especially his beloved dog, Blue, and never once raised an eyebrow when Connie brought home another chicken, cat, or dog to the house, permanent or as a foster. Well, if he did, he didn't let it show. SURVIVORS: Wife and partner, Connie Dees; children, Jean (Craig) Stevens, Anne Waters, Beth (Matt) Hoffacker, Tony (Darcus) Drollinger and Joe (Patty) Drollinger; 12 grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; sister-in-law, Christy Gideon and her son, Cameron; and many in-laws, nieces, nephews, and friends. Special thanks and love to Alan and Katherine Ware, ReNay Crist and Darin Martins for being amazing friends and helpers.

I called and spoke with Kyle Jr. on 8 May 1995. Nice man! He gave some of his immediate Drollinger family genealogy. He said is father, Kyle Sr. is now getting senile, unfortunately. He said his father was an only child and that his father's father died when Kyle Sr. was only about three years old and therefore, the family knows next to nothing about it's Drollinger family history. He would definitely like to learn more about it he said.
Kyle also gave me the names of the following Drollingers listed in his phone book, but says he does not know who they are:
Sam and Maria Drollinger (3803 St. Germain Dr zip code 76016; 817-451-8335)
Troy (1551 NW 19th St zip code 75050; 214-647-1345)
