Not sure what to say?

A good egg Kevin was. We knew each other in the city and I never imagined he could be such a successful lawyer, because he was so down to earth. If he's now able to read this, I wish him well.

Kevin was a decent guy who we remember and miss. He was an early pioneering tech guy who built his Radio Shack computer in the 1980s. He also was a man of principle who did not suffer fools lightly. He kept us all on our toes, which was not an easy feat, as he could be relentless once he got a burr under his saddle But it was Kevin, we enjoyed the experience, and through his detailed direction, learned how to make lemonade out of lemons . Rest In Peace Kevin.

Dear Camille, Denise and I only learned of your father's passing last night, two years after the fact. My only excuse is that we were dealing with Denise's near-fatal brain aneurysm and her long and arduous recovery. As a book publisher and later CEO, I worked with Kevin on and off for nearly 30 years. When I started the Perseus Books Group, Kevin was our attorney of record on all first amendment matters. But mostly, was a good friend to both of us. I owned a house in Saugerties not...

I knew Kevin from a little club that met up at 7am every morning on the UWS. He was a true original and someone I really enjoyed knowing and speaking with. I am very saddened to only now learn of his passing. God bless you!

You broke the mold and took it with you. Original, honest, exuberant, and unforgettable. Thank you for our wonderful conversations.

Thank you to everyone who attended Kevin‘s memorial service and for sharing your memories. I am amazed at the number of lives he touched and I will use his example to strive to be a better friend. Thank you to Kesari Ruza and Peter Guirguis and the Douglaston Club for a wonderful memorial.

Although I am considerably older than Kevin, I grew up across the street from him and his family. His father and older brothers were exceptional Boy Scouts and played an important role in my life. His mother was a wonderful baker who made fresh bakery items every day. It was always a treat to walk into that crowded household to the aroma of fresh baked breads and pastries. He was an exceptional attorney and I am sure he will be sorely missed by all whose lives he touched.
