  8. Kevin was a close friend that was always there for so many people through thick n through thin. Kevin had a great sense of humor and we had alot of laughs together. We disected all the Boston sports teams over dinner and drinks. I could never hit that golf ball as far as he did and was content at just trying to keep up with him. Kevin and I worked in the same Industrial business careers and loved to talk shop. He worked very hard to become very successful and one of the best in his business. He was like a brother and will be missed very much. He fought a tough battle and is now at peace. May God bless his family for the loss of an honest and good man.
