Not sure what to say?

A most interesting and character of a man. I met him twice Once as a flight instructor and as Firearms inspector. Sad to hear of his passing.My love to his relatives and friends Chris Newcombe

I first met Kevin through Lions book fares and later on we had chemo together.He was such a lovely gentleman and had a great wit Its been a pleasure to know you

So sorry to read of Kevin´s passing. We have happy memories of Jag Club events and adventures and appreciated yours and Hillary´s contribution to Jag Club Committee over the years. They were fun times Sending our deepest sympathy. Alan and Leigh Rector

Kevin & I go back a long way, first as mechanics (motor for Kevin diesel for me) then as fellow obsessives for flying and flying instruction. In the latter case Kevin was my mentor who had much to teach in his common sense and friendly professionalism. It was my privilege to conduct his wedding to Hilary to whom I extend my sincere condolences. Of course we are sad Kevin has died, but may the love and friendship we received from him give us cause to be thankful for his life. May his memory...

Many a memory of tea's out at the glenn... and bring cars back from chch for him an pete rait. Strangely the last 20 years were mainly catch ups at funerals... sorry I won't be there for this one.

Hillary and family. We were saddened to read of Kevin's passing and know all your wonderful memories will help you through this very sad time We so enjoyed our time with you both at Jaguar runs Barbara and Albyn Leslie

Dear Nelson, I'm really sorry that your Grandad became very sick and died. He was a special man and I know that he was very proud of you and loved you very much. My husband died of cancer too. Sometimes, the doctors just can't fix things. From Mrs. Kain

Dear Hilary, Janelle, Chris and Nelson, I am so sorry about the loss of your much loved Husband, Father and Grandad. Kevin was a pretty special man. I popped around last Saturday and all the blinds were down. I thought to myself that something really sad must have happened, and sure enough it had. Love, Anthea Kain

So sorry to read about this. I often wonder how Kevin was doing but I see snippets on facebook and thought he was looking good. So sorry I didnt phone you Hilary to see how thing were going for you both. My deepest sympathy to you and all the family, loving thoughts with you all
