Kevin--it's been over a year since you went to your Eternal Reward. I think of you daily and hold you close to my heart. You were truly Blessed with great parents as I now have a relationship with your Mom & Dad. Orrie is a very special young man just like his Dad. Blessings on you always, Peace and all good! Chuck

I had known Kevin for 9 years. He was one of the smartest young men I have met. He had a passion for business and squash. He was always engaging me to play and was a great conversationalist. I will miss him dearly as he was thoughtful and kind. I pray the Lord will lead him into his kingdom for eternal peace. Gid speed Kevin, you are missed.

Kevin was a friend and business associate of mine for the past half-dozen years. I have always been impressed by his intelligence, driven work ethic, and bold (even brash) thinking and actions. I recall meeting him at one of my first Buffalo Angels meetings when I walked in to the room to observe 20 or so people in their 50s, 60s and 70s (all obviously successful in their respective fields and careers) listening intently to a rather young, raspy voiced Kevin. Within short order I was ...

Kevin was a forward, very innovative thinker. I enjoyed our many conversations and interactions. He challenged my thinking and that of others in a way that made us all better. His passion for history and compassion for others were truly admirable traits. Missed but never forgotten. Thought and prayers to his family and friends.

Kevin is a real loss to our business community - and in particular our startup community - that much is self-evident. But deeper, Kevin is missed as the kind of visionary mind that sees meaningful connections between ideas, things, and most of all, people. He was a huge help to me in building Circuit - and fondly remembered by his team here. I counted him a friend I admired and I miss him deeply.

Don and Susan... while I have not met you... I have heard Kevin speak of you both many times. I was lucky enough to call Kevin a friend and got to spend time with him over the last several years. He was a special person, and I admired his curiosity intellectual presence and drive. One of my special memories was spending a day with him on two different occasions skiing in Ellicott Ville, where we just talked and rode up the chairlift together. I will miss him.

Susan & Don--it is with a very heavy heart that I write this message. Kevin was family to me in many ways. He was so intelligent and kindhearted. I knew sides of Kevin that many never got to see as a result of the time we spent talking about life. Orrie was his world and he often spoke of his feelings for his son. He was and would have been a great dad! I will miss him very much and will forever treasure his memory. I loved Kevin and will keep him in my heart. I know that he is with Our...

I knew Kevin from The Saturn Club and he was always a friendly face willing to share so many stories. He was always so inquisitive and interested in sharing his deep knowledge of every nook and cranny in the building. Sending healing wishes to his family during this unthinkable time.

Our heart goes out to you at this time of your great sorrow. Connie & Bruce
