So sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved Kevin, He was a great kid
growing up on Althea and Whitten Streets. My sincere sympathy to all your family, Pat and Jim, too. He will surely be missed by all who knew him. Cherish the memories.

Mal, Kristy, Nik and Steph,
I am so sorry. Kevin was a wonderful man, I have lots of fun loving memories of us back on Edwin St. and will always remember our camping trips to Sebago, ME. Kevin was a great friend and I will be forever thankful for him watching over me as a kid. He was always there when we needed him and watched over us like family. I am heartbroken.

With Love,
Michelle (O'Brien) Mullaly
