Sherri, Kevin and family, My sincere condolences to you on the passing of the "Coach". I will never forget seeing him at the football games with his beautiful smile, his enthusiasm and those mighty hugs which would leave me breathless. He could always brighten up my day as he did the many people who loved him. "Coach" will never be forgotten. May he rest in peace.

Typing this with my vision blurred with tears. I haven´t seen Kevin in about 20 years. But how well I remember him. He used to ride the bus with my son. We loved Kevin, because he was such a sweet ray of sunshine. My condolences to his entire family.
