My sympathy to Kevins family. I hung around with Kevin in High School at O.P.R.F. until he graduated in 1966. We were in a so called gang that did nothing but have fun. Never got in to any real trouble, even when we gathered at Carroll Playground and made a lot of noise. Even though we lost touch right after high school, my memories of that time will always bring a smile to my face. He will be missed.

I attended St. Bernardine's School with Kevin.He was the life of the class. When our nun had her back to

the class, Kevin would pop up out of

his seat and do the twist, then sit

down. The class would burst into laughter. Sometimes he didn't get caught, but when he did he paid dearly in the cloak room. Seeing

Kevin at our 25th reunion showed he

hadn't changed much. Thank God. Still funny. Recalling "the best time of our lives". To his family

and loved ones my heart felt sympathy. The world will feel his loss, but heaven just became alot

more fun.

I was stunned by the news. Kevin was always so much fun to be around. Even though I moved a few years ago and have only seen him a couple of times since I will say that "the old broad from California" will miss him dearly.

What a shock! Kevin will be so missed - his humor, his loving heart, his compassion. He became such a part of everyone's life that he touched - even when you didn't see him for a while it was like yesterday when you got together. Our sympathy and love to his family and friends (especially Lynda).
