Reg was one very bright man who shared his intellect with all who wished to learn more. He was not only a gifted conversationalist he also listened intently to what others were saying. His friends will miss him and those exchanges. And Darlene, you will miss him most and all those conversations you had with him. If there were magic words to help you through this sorrow I would write them to you. I send you my condolences and I pray for your courage and fortitude in this great loss. I'm so sorry. Peace be with you, Darlene, and with your family.

Darlene,
We are at a loss for words! Kevin’s absence is felt in many states from your winter FL friends. Seamark will never be the same without him nor will our crew. Our family, beginning with our mom in the early 90’s, started our days enjoying coffee together and milling over current events with our buddy, Kevin. He was always there to lend a helping hand or the best advice. We’ve enjoyed you both in our fun times every winter; pot luck meals, restaurant visits, beachfront patio gatherings and quiet evenings by your doorstep. Your friendships has touched us deeply and there will be a true void without his presence this winter. We love you and hope to see you at Seamark soon! Darlene, we’re so deeply sorry!
Love ya, Steve & Connie

Will never forget the many "deep" conversations we would have while being on the road together. After many beers the talk would really get going. Will also never forget the time he took me on a bar tour of Johnsonburg and wouldn't let me go to bed before he made his famous grilled cheese sandwiches. Sympathy to Darlene and the boys.
