My sincere condolences to Kevin's family. I just heard this horrible news today. I only met Kevin briefly a little over a year ago during a business transaction. He was a very easy guy to do business with. He was a gentleman and I'm sorry I didn't know him better. My thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.
