Born on May 30, 1934, in Anamosa, Iowa, Kermit was the son of LeRoy and Maurine (Stingley) Dirks. He grew up on the family farm near Center Junction, Iowa, and graduated from Monticello High School and nearby Cornell College with a degree in Geology. While at Cornell he met Gertrude "Trudy" Ludden, his lifelong partner, and they married in June 1956. After college Kermit briefly worked as a Geophysicist with Tower Exploration in Wyoming, but soon moved back to Iowa to take a job with the Iowa Department of Transportation, where he worked as a Geologist for 39 years until his retirement in 1996. He was blessed with great mechanical abilities and tackled every broken appliance and car that came his way. Kermit was quiet and would never offer an opinion unless asked, but he was smart and very practical and was sought out by friends and family when they had problems to solve or needed advice. An avid outdoorsman, he took his children and grandchildren on many "adventures," particularly to lakes in northern Minnesota where he loved to fish. Kermit is survived by his wife Trudy; son Bill (Tammy); and daughters Terri (Leon) Hillers and Kathy (Paul) Gilchrist Simpson; grandchildren, Christopher, Patrick, Andrew, Brian, Scott, Katie, Kylie, and Ian; eight great-grandchildren; and brothers Keith Dirks, Brad Dirks, and Will Dirks, with whom he treasured annual "brothers day reunions."
