Kevin was a great guy. He had a happy personality. He loved music. He knew my husband did also. He would say Joe let's sing In the Still of the Night. He loved that song. They would sing in the street together. Kevin you will really be missed. Our sincere sympathy
and condolences to Irene and his children. Carole and Joe Basilicato.
