Kevin was actively involved in Ducks Unlimited of Western Henrico, Cavalier Gun Club and National Sporting Clays Association. He shared his love of hunting with his numerous friends as he traveled abroad on safari and hunting trips. Always with a smile, and with the art of telling a story, Kevin never met a stranger.
