While i did not have the chance to become real close to Kevin, I am blessed to have had the honor of meeting him.
Prior to meeting Kevin, I already knew he was a very decent man . I knew he was a loving husband and father .I also knew he was a loving grandfather as he helped watch and raise our mutual granddaughter.
My daughters descriptions of Kevin while absolutely true , can only only be realized after meeting him.
Kevin and his loving wife Linda warmly welcomed me to their home. . My immediate impression of Kevin was a surprisingly gentle handshake along with a warm smile from a very formidable man.
I quickly realized he was warm, funny, witty, and above all loving .
I got this from a few ,somewhat, brief encounters . Those that have had the good fortune of being close to Kevin are blessed.
While i hardly knew you i am sad at your passing but glad to have met you.
You were truly a gentle giant.
My condolences to Linda, the children , my daughter, and the rest of his family.
God Bless and rest in peace in God’s love.
