Kevin was one of my instructors at SCSU when I was an undergraduate student. After graduation a number of my former classmates and I kept in touch with each other and Kevin. He was a very nice man, an asset to his students, his profession and a friend. My thoughts and my prayers are with the Driscoll family.

I met Kevin while I was employed by Subway HQ. I worked with him for several years on our disclosure document and he made the process seemless. He was a great guy, always a smile on his face.

so many good times with you. Always had our back and forth about the Cowboys and Giants. I'm pretty sure Cowboys won more games against each other !! Best memory was when the Giants beat the Cowboys and I had to wash your car while wearing a Jason Seahorn jersey during lunch while people watched and laughed and took pictures. You even supplied the bucket !! We had lots of laughs together. You were always a good friend and boss. I will miss all the fun we had but I feel better knowing that you are at peace. I Love You my friend. You were the best !!!
