Kevin cherished his dogs and with his wife operated Wagmore Kennels in Winhall, and Flounders House Rescue also located in Winhall. He was a huge Rugby fan, and a playoff game always came before everything else. Kevin cherished times spent with his family, listening to music, and working on his house with his wife.
