Kevin was one of the nicest and most caring individual I have ever known. We were friends, fraternity brothers, and he was a groomsman in my wedding. I would really like to tell Alex and Eric about "the Ghost" and his life at SLU.
He and Jamie were right across the hall from me on 3CEC in the dorm. The Ghost would take as much time as necessary with other students in his quest to make us all smarter. Turns out he made us better people.
My most sincere condolences to his family.

I taught Quant Lab at SLU with Kevin. What a genuinely gentle and considerate spirit he was. I have so many fond memories of our antics, shared with Steve aka Chip Brennan and Bob Ferris, especially the "day off" water ski trips. I just learned of his passing and am truly saddened. I am certain that his sons are aware of the excellent human being their father was.

I saw his passing in SLU's Alumni magazine. Kevin was my premed advisor and very kind and helpful. He and Jan help me through my early college years and I probably would not have survived without their help. I'm sure he helped many patients and friends over the years and undoubtedly will be missed.

Please accept my condolences. We knew him as 'the ghost.' Kevin was a fraternity brother and one of the nicest and maybe the most intelligent person I've ever met. As I recall, he didn't have to take the final in organic because he had aced everything up to that point. I hadn't seen Kevin since the wedding of Mike Ellis, but I'll always remember him as a great friend who introduced me to Kurt Vonnegut, an extraordinary intellect, and one of the most easygoing guys I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I learned about his passing through the St. Louis Alumni magazine and I'm heart broken by his loss.

Mr. Kevin was one of our neighbors and we got to know him the last 2 weeks that he lived in our complex. He was a great man and will be dearly missed by my family and I. My deepest condolences to the family.

My deepest sympathy on your loss. Kevin was one of my favorite undergrad assistants in instructing the laboratory in quantitative analysis at SLU. Although I have had minimal contact with him over the years I still fondly remember him.
