As a long-time customer at Schnucks, I saw & talked to Kevin on a regular basis. We always talked about our pets - we both loved animals & both had rescued our pets. He had a kind heart & will be missed by everyone who knew him! My sympathy & prayers for comfort to his family!

I remember all of the talks we had about life and our health, remembering that we lived so close to each other growing up and laughing about the way things were back in the day!! I didn´t know you had retired, I wish I had known. Lots of great memories.

So sorry for your loss. Kevin was a coworker at Schnucks and a friend to me. Kevin taught me about his love for horses and all animals. We had many long discussions about horse racing and I will truly miss those conversations.
