I just found this. Kevin was my cousin. I haven't seen him in years. But am so sorry to hear of his passing. I am sorry we never got to know each other in later years. As a kid I remember his singing and listening to his album my folks had of his. RIP Kevin.

Throughout the 1980's, we were friends with Kevin and his wife, MKS. Those were exciting times as he built and sold his Wall St business. He lost touch with us, but I never forgot his wit, generous nature, and great friendship with my husband during our first years back in NYC... And a more adorable flirt there never was! I miss you, Kevin.

Among my fondest memories is singing with Kevin, who we fondly called "Kenny", in the Cayuga's Waiters at Cornell. He sang like an angel, and was an all-around great guy. Just cannot believe that he's gone. He was beloved.

I was privileged to get to know Kevin in the past three years. He was "a force" and one could tell had probably always been so, but made gentle in unexpected ways and with such a big heart, for people and for animals. I wish I'd been able to hear him sing in the Eternal Light concert in April as he was so excited about this new facet of his life. Kevin was committed to helping others by sharing his experience, strength and hope, great stories and much laughter. He probably had no idea how many he affected in these ways.
The world won't seem the same without him. Godspeed, Kevin!
