In Brazil

We just heard this. I am saddened. Kevin worked for me at ICV for a number of years.

We went to Brazil together... He was a passionate and honest person of the type that you don't find more then a few times in your life.. I remember when we went to Brazil, he spent a lot of time beforehand going to Portuguese lessons..

He was very committed to learning the language.. It was funny because it is so hard to learn a language and then feel confident speaking it... And he and I both clammed up totally the first time a server at the Beachside bar asked us in Portuguese what we want to order.. We couldn't say a word...

He was a fantastic guitar player. I played guitar with him a few times.

He tried to bring back a Brazilian instrument on the place.. This was 2 months after 9/11 and there was no way Kevin was gonna get this thing that looked like a 4 foot sword with strings on it. On a jet flying to the USA... We laughed...

I still play through a Fender Amp that he gave to me.....
R.I.P My friend... You are missed. My condolences to the family...
