Kevin was a great doctor, an independent thinker with a sarcastic sense of humor, and a wild man. I enjoyed every minute I spent with him and admired his courage in his final years. My condolences to his family.

Sheila, I worked with Kevin for years when I practiced at St Joe's and then when he went into solo practice. He was an excellent physician and I totally enjoyed his wry sense of humor. I am so sorry for your loss. What a shame.
