I will Remember the first time I met Kevin and Joan. They both invited me into their home and made me feel like one of the family.
Kevin always liked me to sit by him at dinner table to tell me his Arny stories. They were always so interesting to me. He made me feel special.
Loved his cooking and His Pies. When we went over for christmas dinner, I couldn't wait for his green bean Casserole.
Kevin will be missed.
Love Always, Lisa Collins

FAREWELL TO KEVIN
WE HAD NO TIME TO SAY GOODBYE,
WITH NARY A WORD OF WARNING,
FOR SUNSET BROUGHT THE CURTAIN DOWN,
GOD COULDN'T WAIT ‘TILL MORNING.
HIS EMPTY CHAIR IS ELOQUENT
OF RECENT DAYS OF DREAMING –
NO DOUBT TO STEAL – BEHIND THE WHEEL
HIS CHERISHED MUSTANG – WAITING…
SPURRED ON BY LOVE OF FAMILY,
(HIS YEARS OF WAR BEHIND)
SUSANNAH, MATTHEW, EMILY,
HIS JOAN – THE TIES THAT BIND.
HE LEFT HIS STAMP ON...

Kevin and Joan were our friends in Babenhausen. He was the Battalion Adjutant when I reported into the unit.
He was instrumental in contacting many of our lost members years later while we were forming the Babenhausen Veterans & Friends. His assistance was invaluable.
Kevin, thank you for your service to your country.
May you go to serve the commander on high.

Dear Joan and Family,
So sorry to hear of your loss. I know from experience that losing your spouse is very hard. I pray that the Lord will see you through this day by day, as He is me. May God Bless you all
and keep you close to Him at this tragic time in your lives.

Kevin was always there for me. Kevin visited my Dad often and constructed items to aid him. Kevin & Joan threw me a wedding party when money was lacking. The world will miss Kevin's smile & hugs.
