Sincere sympathy to all of Kevo’s family at this sad time. Kevo was one funny guy. So many stories going back to high school days & then all the recent years. He loved his family including all of the grandkids. He was so happy over the last few years with the boat & the boat club. Friends all got together last night for dinner & we told funny story after story. Lotsa laughs & we’re all thinking of you buddy! Wishing you peace and no pain friend. You’ll always be in our thoughts & happy memories. :)

I loved Gary from the moment I met him..I affectionately called him " bossy".
We had each other's backs at a very challenging workplace.
Our friendship went beyond work..one of the sweetest, kindest gentlest souls I have ever met. This is a truly great loss in my life.
I hope you enjoying your cup of clam chowder in heaven bossy.
RIP. I'll see you again my loyal friend. God bless your family and friends.
