I could not find the words when Kevin passed. So many great memories of my friend and one time business partner. The lights, the music and the passion for a show well done. Even when seperated in different parts of the country. We were never far apart. Ever the friend over the years. Thank you for the time you gave. Thank you for the memories.

So many memories -from our childhood -my favorite cousin -probably because we were only 2 weeks apart.
I always looked forward to our visits to see you in Altoona-and our shopping trips so Bill could buy more fish. All the talks we had -I'm sure we were trying to solve world problems. You were so intelligent -and had such a great attitude and personality -and easy to talk to. You were always smiling and laughing. I am heartbroken -and I will miss you -and I know you will be missed by many -you will remain in our memories and hearts...sherry

One of my most loyal friends. I will miss talking for hours and how your tough exterior showed your heart with me. Will miss you my friend.
