We hadn't seen Kevin in awhile, except for waving at him on his bike and didn't know he was sick. I kind of lost touch with him after Theresa got sick. He was a person who would go out of his way to help someone. He loved kids, especially his grandchildren, and we commend for that. Kevin was always very helpful when I had a mechanical issue or needed his help. He will be missed. Bill & Theresa
