Sue my most sincere sympathy on your loss of Kevin. He was the most sincere person I’ve ever known. Always there with a smile or friendly word totally uplifting and very much ready to help and share your problems. He was dealt a very problematic life but through it all he was able to overcome his adversities. Bless you all he will always be missed. Sincerely, Gary Campbell

Truly a great person with a wonderful heart of gold. Would always support and help others with a smile. I met Kevin by working with him thru the News Tribune and delivery of daily papers for many years. I actually helped him with his routes occasionally when needed. He was a strong person and stood his ground. He will be dearly missed.

I am so sorry to hear about Kevin's death. His Mom , Mary Lou, was my first cousin. I didn't really know Kevin wellbecause he was 10 yrs younger than me. But it sounds like he was a Wonderful Man. His sisters were a little closer to my age, and we did many Holidays together ,"out home", when we were very young. May he Rest in Peace

So sorry to hear of your loss, Susie. You and your children are in my thoughts and prayers.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Kevin was a great person. Condolences to his family.
