Kevins' humble ardor rapture was a longing for many. It was his earmark aspect of trust and kindness he always gave people. His friendship was his distinguish personality and heart . Some of the words describing his being ; Sofheartedness, Forgiving, Charismatic, Thoughtful, Respectful, Affectionate, Loving and Loyal. When Kevin smile those Irish eyes would gleam his lips would glissen, his fuzzy hair would wiggle all was hint of Joy and Seasoned Love. Two of the most attaining gifts, His, Mother and Father taught Him. It was the rewards of Delight and Happiness that Kevin gave every day. It was piercing to my heart when I heard ... as it was, to all. But the grandiose relish Love and Joy of Kevin is in my heart , in your heart Kelly, in all the others shared that noticeable reflextion we seen from Kevin. When we spoke of Him it was there. When we thought of Him it is there. Kevin has surrender His Love to us . We must now carry on with His remarkable Love.

My sincerest sympathies go out to the entire Cahill family in the loss of Kevin. He was a beautiful person, always with a smile and a soft spoken voice. We had many great times at Holyoke Country Club, both on and especially off the golf course afterwards. He never got angry, always a gentleman. May he rest in peace.

We send our sincere condolences to Kelly and all of the Cahill family. Kevin was a great person to be around with, talented in many ways, with his music, his work, his hobbies and you can't forget about the Patriot's football conversations. He will be truly missed but not forgotten.
