My condolences to the Grafs. Kevin was a teammate, roommate and great friend at UVM. I missed the reunion but Thig told me he looked great. The "Spaceman" enhanced college life and 2 a days. those of us that lived together during those years are saddened by this news but we will remember him like it was yesterday forever.

Very sorry to hear about Kevin's passing. Kevin was a fellow junior college transfer from California to UVM. We called him Spaceman. I wish I'd known he was right here in Southern Cal where I've been for the last 36 years. I hope his family will be comforted with all of the great memories of Kevin.

I was a teammate of Kevin's at the U of Vermont. Kevin wore a jersey with "Spaceman" on his back. He was a rocket when he ran. Hard hitter. A great guy. Kind of crazy. Like a lot of the players in the 70's. But, he stood out as a special man. I'm shocked by this news. And, upset. I add Spaceman to the people that made my trip thru UVM, one that I'll never forget.
I saw him again at the football reunion in 2004. He looked good. And, I wish I had spent more time with him then. I always thought I'd visit him when I was in CA.

My condolences go out to Kevin's family and friends. I recently learned of Kevin's passing and was shocked to hear the news. I met Kevin approximately 25 years ago at the gym. Kevin was known as a strong, well spoken man who would never walk away from a fight. I know he will be greatly missed by all.

My condolences to Kevins family... I was one of his buddys at San Bernardino Valley College, we ran track together and hung out with the same group of friends. His nickname from us was Spaceman... but we meant it with love and friendship. Thanks Kevin for being my friend....
