I met Kevin through a mutual friend at Liberty Homes. Kevin was a good friend. I never heard him ever talk bad about anyone. Rest in peace Kevin until we meet again in heaven.

I first met Kevin in 1978. I worked with Kevin for many years at Liberty Homes. Kevin was a very talented man. He could do just about anything.
I sure will miss him. Rest in peace my friend.
