To Kevins family, I send my most heartfelt sympathy. I didn't know him or any of your family, but, I have a 46 year old son who I love dearly,and can relate to your great loss. I'm glad Kevin was able to live in Hickory for a time, and so appreciative of his service to our country. I'm sure he was a very good man, and you will miss him always. May God bless your family during this very difficult time.
