My deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to Luanne and all of Kevin’s loved ones. I will never forget all the thoughtfulness and kindness Kevin showed my family when my wife was battling cancer. He was a true gentleman in every sense of the word. Always the first to step up for others in times of trouble. He had a huge heart. His big laugh and sense of humor, as well as his well timed candor will truly be missed.
We shared a lot of laughs over the years. I will think of him often.
