Own sincere sorrow to Kevin's family. I only remember Kevin as the very pesky little boy next door always looking up to his older brothers and sister. When he was three or four years old he saw me accidently shoot an arrow into the air and land in the roof of his family home. I begged him to stay quiet and I guess he did, the arrow stayed in place for many years and I never heard about it again. Thanks Kev:) God be with you.
