To Janey, sons and Kev's parents/ family: I am saddened for your loss but happy to hear Kevin no longer has to suffer. I had the pleasure and enjoyment of knowing, working with and having fun with Kevin for many years in California. All I can say is how great it was to hang out and spend time with Kevin. Many times we laughed so hard tears would fall from our eyes and this is how I remember him.
