We were I the police academy together, he was class president and I was the bus driver. Kevin was memorable, how else would he cross my mind so many years later.... The academy was in 1982! My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. Kevin was one of the good guys and I had the blessing of him being a thread in my tapestry of life.
