Toni--my heart goes out to you and the children. Kevin was such a fun part of being in the building on Northwest Blvd. I recently heard that he was having a hard time. I am so sorry for everyone.

Rest in peace Kevin. Although our paths haven't crossed in twenty years or more, I frequently recollect the great times at Hilliard High School and carpooling in my '55 Oldsmobile. May God bless you and keep you.
