Estelle and Lester Sutton appreciated Kevin's many talents. He was highly regarded and trusted and it is a pleasure to remember him. I recall fondly the many times he drove Lester, for his book of limericks, and for his ability at carpentry where he built the pool and turned the garage into an apartment. To the family and Clare, my deepest sympathies. -From Estelle Sutton
