I will never forget the first time I met Kevin on the beach. We were lucky enough for awhile to live on the same sand and it will never be quite the same without him. We just heard of Kevin's passing yesterday. Our sympathy goes out to all in the Howe family. We will walk that beach and raise our coffee cup to a great friend and gentleman.

I was saddened to hear of Kevin's passing. Kevin and I were good friends during our days at St. Joe's Grammar School and continued to be close while attending BBHS. I remember fondly the many hours we spent on the telephone trying to solve math problems. My last conversation with Kevin was at the 50th Reunion. My condolences to all of the members of the Howe Family. Kevin will be missed.
