Kevin was the wittiest and most generous person I have ever known. He instilled in me a love of literature and learning that has directed my life's mission. His legacy as a friend, father, brother, and uncle will live on forever.

Very sorry to hear about Kevin's passing. We were good friends growing up in "The Farm" back in the '40's. Good friends are never forgotten.
