Dear Gerry and family, My condolences to you on the loss of Kevin. He was student in my religion classes at AWHS. Much too young to leave us. May he rest in peace.

Kevin was a blessed gentleman who had a great spirit and love for family. Just saw him recently and he gave me an update on the latest happenings in his "Houghs Neck" neighborhood. Loved playing hockey with Kevin back in the day. "Shooting pucks" in the "Montclair" family house driveway was one of our great weekly events that was at times dangerous, but exciting..! Quincy Youth Hockey brought us all together and we still tell some great stories of the past teams and "unique" coaches. He will be missed...! R.I.P. Kevin and we will meet again..! Prayers and Blessings to his family..!

Dear McGrath Family,

I am very sorry for your loss. Sending love and sympathies. Kevin was my neighbor, friend, fellow storyteller, and occasional "beverage-sharer" :) He was funny, smart, and had the biggest heart. I will miss him now and always. Every night, I have walked by his house for fifteen years and knowing he is now truly gone saddens me greatly.

With love,
Casey Chamberlain (and Izzy Kraimer, Age 16)
