Kevin will be missed by our entire family. Robin & I loved him like a son, and our kids called him Uncle E O. I taught, coached, befriended him, we opened your house to him when he went to CMU. He was our assistant track coach for three years. He was and will always be part of our family.
We will be hosting the regional track meet on the 21st and will not be able to attend the tea. Maybe we can catch the end. He is missed!
