Kevin was so comfortable with our customers and made my transition seamless into the process. We had fun for a few months of working together before he moved up north.
The folks were surprised and saddened at his passing and many stories came out about his sense of humor and endearing ways. He is missed ...

I know if there is a Customer Service Hot-line in Heaven, Kevin has taken Charge of it. If one does not exist, Kevin will establish one. Make sure the pod casts of the Yankee Games keep being broadcast.

I was very, very saddened to learn of Kevin's passing. He had been looking forward to retirement and spending lots of time with his son. We worked together at Spectrum Utilities, and I have many fond memories of him. I will think of him every time I hear the word Pal, and know he will be one of the biggest Yankee fans in Heaven. He was always empathetic to the plight of others, and now it's time to return the empathy. Customers tell me all the time how much they like and miss Kevin. Kevin, you have left a lot of friends and memories behind. Miss you dearly, and may the Lord be with you.

To my dear O'Reilly family, what a sweet kind brother in law Kevin was to me and he will certainly be missed. I hope we can all find comfort knowing that he, Jim and Patty are now once again together laughing hysterically and looking down upon us. Know that I have all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
Much Love Wilma

Kevin was a great guy to work with and a royal Yankees man. His love of baseball was second to none. He will be missed by all of us at Spectrum. Dave Eversole

The family of Kevin has my deepest sympathy. Kevin and I were co-workers at Spectrum. I worked from an Ohio office and talked to him several times a day. He was a hard worker and loved his baseball especially the Yankees. It's an honor to have known Kevin. May he rest in peace!
