I am so sorry to hear about Kevin's passing. I always enjoyed seeing him and knowing how much he & Gwen enjoyed being together. Gwen would share stories about their camping, fishing, bowling, vacations, motorcycle rides, and enjoying every day pleasures with family & friends. Kevin was one of those people who had a real work ethic and worked hard for everything and didn't ask to be codled. I know he will be greatly missed by family & friends but has suffered so much during the last year. May he rest in peace knowing he was loved & respected!
