I will always remember Kevin! He and my brother Ralph were childhood friends and would see him and Greg often. As we grew up he was also friends with my fiancé and then husband, Larry Riggan. I hitch hiked back to Phoenix from Big Bear with him and Tom Leonard after they had come up to visit . He taught me how to drive. So many lovely memories of dear Kevin! He had a great, understated sense of humor. Sadly, I lost track of him over the years. He is missed and will always own some acreage in my heart. See ya on the other side, brother!

I didn´t know that Kevin had passed until today. For some reason he came to mind and I googled him and sadly saw his obituary. So many memories with Kevin He taught me how to drive a car. He was a good friend of my brother, Ralph´s, as was Greg. I knew Kevin and Greg when we were in our early teens and then spent time with him a Leslie. I remember when Ryan was born. Anyway, the world seems like a sadder place without him. Although I hadn´t seen him for many, many years, many of my favorite memories from the younger years included Kevin. See you on the other side brother. Marjie Coppen
