Kevin was a dear friend. My oldest friend. We met in high school nearly 50 years ago. Kev was a man of many talents, particularly as a writer. For me, he will be most remembered as a person who brought great joy and laughter to others. Nobody made me laugh like Kevin. Nobody. I will miss him dearly, as will all who really knew him. Thank you, Kevin, for being my friend.
Condolences to his mother, Mary. Take comfort in the fact that you raised a boy to be a great man who touched many hearts. Peace.

I had the great fortune to get to know Kevin because my husband worked with him years ago in Georgia. We shared emails and his writing abilities became apparent to us both. Whenever we spent some winter months in Florida, we made it a point to meet for lunch. He always made us smile, such an enjoyable sense of humor he had! So interesting to share thoughts and ideas with Kevin! Our sincere condolences to his mother, Mary. Although we didn’t have the pleasure of meeting you, may it help to know that your son was a dear, very special friend to us!
