Kevin P. Lavin

Kevin's humor helped get me through our first year of teaching at Park View Jr. He and I both taught Social Students to antsy junior high kids at Park View Jr. High in Cranston, a school whose ranks swelled to 1500 students in 1967. One day, I heard a rumble and noted the globe rolling across my classroom floor. To the shocked students and me, Kevin, sta ding at the open door, simply said "Miss Kelly, I give you the world at your feet." Unforgettable...as was he.

Holding you close in my thoughts and hope you are doing OK. Jeffrey Katz

So sorry for your loss Mrs Lavin. Thinking of you. I always enjoyed hearing your stories in the library about him. Sending my love

One of the most memorable and nicest. I am happy to see that he lived for 79 years and had a wonderful family and work-life.

Carol, I'm so sorry to learn of Kevin's passing. Kevin was a fierce competitor, funny and most of all, a real gentleman. I am thinking of you and your family during this sad time.

Kevin seemed to have a smile on his face whenever I saw him. He was a gentle, caring man whose faith in humanity seemed boundless. Thankyou Kevin for making my world a better place with you in it. Very sad to see you go. Bon Voyage
