Not sure what to say?

Remarkably generous in his remarks about my Mahabharata work. Sent me all his Mbh books for review. Sad loss.

I used to see him rowing on the Charles almost daily, nothing more than a nod or daily greeting. However, the Charles and the rowing community will be the lesser in his absence.

To Kevin´s Family and Friends: Please accept our deepest sympathies. Kevin cared deeply others. He would take the time to talk and listen.
