Tribute to our Beloved Kirk L. Rawlings Kirk Linwood Rawlings came into this world on Sunday, August 17, 1958, the eighth child and fourth son of Katherine Mae Rawlings (nee Lundy) and Clarence Linwood Rawlings. He attended Cherry Hill Presbyterian Church; later when the family moved to Northeast Baltimore, he took classes and his first communion at the Huber Memorial UCC. Kirk was educated in the Baltimore City Public School System starting with Cherry Hill School #159, Herring Run Junior High and Mergenthaler Senior High. Kirk was interested and very content fixing and tinkering with machines. He later enrolled in an electrical course with RETS. All his life, Kirk had a love for music. He pursued this love by joining several bands as their self-taught keyboardist. His mom’s house became the mecca for regular band practice. Kirk played in clubs and halls around Baltimore. He was a happy, outgoing and spiritual person with a wide circle of friends. Years later, Kirk moved to Harrisburg, PA, to pursue life in a new environment. There, he met and married his beloved wife Gail. In Harrisburg, PA, on Sunday, March 24, 2019, Kirk completed his earthly journey joining in eternal life his parents, three siblings who died in a fire before Kirk’s birth, his beloved brother, Michael (Brenda), and sister, Katherine Linda Bonner.
