I met Ke in when zi got a job working in the kitchen at Cardinal Glennon . He was always so much bigger than life and smiling and so outgoing. Probably one of the reasons I tried Glennon and Kenrick following his example. He is very much missed but feel so blessed to have known him.

Kevin and I taught at Rosati Kain High School during the same four years. He certainly knew how to keep everyone entertained (but only at the appropriate time)! Know of my thoughts and prayers for Kevin and all who mourn his passing.

Kevin, Kevin, Kevin your smile could not be walked away from and your thoughts could not be ignored. You always reflected your crazy Irish family. Thank for being there and making our visits special. God Bless You as you smile down on us! You were always a piece of work. Miss you Man!
