My best memory of Kevin was when he & I took a bicycle ride thru the back streets of Norfolk, Virginia... he didn't take a corner too well () and shot through and disappeared in a tall & very thick hedge-row...and when he finally emerged back into sight..his glasses were ,well, kinda "disheveled"...(I was amazed he actually didn't lose them) and He looked like he had been through a shredder..
His bike´s front wheel was a bit crooked... That was the end of that bike ride!
He never made a noise as he entered that hedge.. It was truly a sight to see!
REST EASY KEVIN!

Kevin (Bub) and I go way back to
summer swimming holes at the 9 mile creek and all sorts of adventures kids do, to later years of snowmobiling, playing pool, bowling and hanging out. Lots of good times and memories. He was a really good friend, we´ll miss him very much

Kevin (Boover to me) and I were constant companions during high school. I am so sad to hear of his passing. The Kevin I knew was philosophical, caring, sweet, and a loyal friend.
