Kevin's old kitchen window still looks out on my driveway. I can still picture him there cutting up vegetables to throw into the stew pot!

Life is so fleeting. Smile, hug, laugh while you can. Leave no words left unsaid. It was nice knowing you back in the day Kevin. Always a big smile. Great memories. Hanging with the Hyde Park crowd one of the great chapters of my life. Wishing you unimaginable peace and joy in whatever comes after this life. Yours was a good life. You will be missed. Ride with the angels!

I remember Kevin well when he moved into his condo in Dorchester stop. At that time he had a goofy lovable dog named Emily and of course his motorcycle. He would have friends over and I remember him at his kitchen window cutting Up all kinds of vegetables and throwing them into a big stewpot for dinner. Later on he rented his condo to my two dear friends Terry and Larry. I would see him then from time to time over at the "party house". Sometimes we would talk about his children. He was very interested in them and very proud of them.

Our hearts are heavy and we are certainly having a hard time wrapping our heads around the fact that you're gone. We are truly going to miss your "gift of gab", your love of cooking but most of all your friendship! Rest easy Kevin ~ until we meet again.
