Dear Tina and Family,

I just received the news late last week, while on vacation. I was so shocked and saddened to hear about Kevin's passing. Kevin worked for me at Spectra Logic. He was such a wonderful man, I often wondered how he was doing after SL. We all enjoyed having him on our team. I will miss Kevin very much. My condolences to you and your family. My prayers are with your entire family in this difficult time. "The Senator" we will miss you !!! God bless you and rest in peace my friend.

Kevin was a truely Nice person. I had many serious and funny talks with him. I still consider him my borther-in-law, and as he reminded me a few years ago, I am still his sister-in-law. Goodby Kevin. Joan Maloney

My memories of Kevin include high school and college. My fondest ones are when he was an Usher at the Palace theatre in downtown Canton and The Sound of Music was playing. We would be the only ones there and sit in the middle of the place singing (badly) along with the movie at the top of our lungs. He was one of my best friends for a long time and then, sadly, we lost touch. I have many fond memories of all of us, (Pertl, Becherer, Lorraine, etc) at Woody's in Alliance, the class play Oklahoma, at the University of Dayton when he and others would visit us all there. The one thing I always remember is his happiness. He was always smiling and always upbeat! I don't think I have a memory of any sadness in him. That is how I will remember him...the smiling irishman! céad míle fáilte Kevin, (a hundred thousand welcomes) . Virge

My Uncle Kevin always had a coin trick or something up his sleeve to keep us kids entertained during our holiday gatherings. I am so grateful to have had the chance to speak with him one last time and tell him I loved him. I will miss him dearly.

Kevy and I laughed and played together as children, and continued to do so throughout adulthood. Although I will always have laughter in my life, I will never again have that childhood laughter. I will be forever grateful for the gift I was given for 55 years. Your Jo Jo loves you Kevy!
