To Kevin's family I am so sorry to hear of his passing, Paul Robertson has kept me up to date on his condition and he has been in my prayers since. His passing has caused classmates to reeconect on Facebook so, his Spirit does Live. May the Lord comfort you in your time of grief and may Kevin rest in Peace. My thanks goes to him for his service to our Country.

I can't believe this news. Linda had recently found me on Facebook and I hadn't really caught up on Kevin. Many great memories as kids on Queensway! Our deepest sympathies to the family. From the Hutchesons: Greg, Doug, Warren, Allen and Julie as well as mom, Ruby Klein.

My Dear Uncle Kevin, we will miss you so much. I will never forget all the things that we did when I was a kid, Six Flags, malls and many, many rides on your motorcycle and of course Steak n Shake. You meant so much to me and I know you are my angel. I Love You
