Kevin was a wonderful person who you felt very lucky to have met and known. I'll miss talking hockey with him and his great laugh & smile. May God Bless you and your family, Kevin.

Thank you Kevin for keeping me optically stylish over the years. People don't give Opticians enough credit. Kevin had the touch and finesse of a surgeon, every pair of glasses I purchased from Downtown Dayton Optical fit as if they were part of my face.
I will remember Kevin fondly
