I don't remember if you were still posting here or not at that time, DR Ron, but when Kerry passed away, his partner invited me to come into his home and choose some items to remember him by. Sandra and I chose some paintings and art deco items. I noticed that the Kitchenaid mixer was still in the kitchen. I hesitated to ask for a utilitarian item, but I did speak up and said that I would use it. Dennis said that of course I should take it; he had thought of it earlier, but forgot it until I mentioned it. I use it quite a bit.
