Though your smile is gone forever And your hand we cannot touch. Still we have so many memories Of the ones we loved so much. Your memory is our keepsake With which we'll never part. God has you in his keeping And we have you in our hearts…… author unknown...…. I met Kevin as my co-worker in 1990 and became friends in 1993. Our friendship became stronger and closer as each year passed as we learned more and more about each other. In 2000 we became business partners and even though we never got the business up and running we both devoted a lot of time in it together and that made our friendship even more special. I loved his smile and his laugh, they were contagious. I have so many memories that I will always cherish and reflecting back on them always makes me smile. I have lost someone I loved, my closest friend, and a remarkable human being. You will always have a place in my heart. Rest in Peace Kevin. Love you. These are my favorite pictures of Kevin. The 1st one is the best one I have of us. The 2nd one is around the time we first met..... maybe why I like it so much...……. My sincerest sympathy to Amy, Kristina, and Sarah. You are in my thoughts and prayers and my friendship with Kevin has given me my friendships with you, I am here for you, Love you all,
