Kevin you always were a great friend to many people. I always looked forward to see your smiling face and your hello...."How you doing." You were kind and friendly to everyone. The wind was always beneath your wings you never stopped moving there was always someone to see something to do. Will think of always especially at the running for the roses...The Kentucky Derby. You are in our hearts and our thoughts always, Love Peggy and Mike (Porky) Rodden

I was saddened to hear of Kevin's passing. Though we weren't very close, his memory is a good one. He'll be one of those positive memories that I carry with me from growing up in Overbrook. Too bad we let so many years and miles come between us all. Rest well, My Friend.
