I am sorry to hear about Kevin. I have good memories of Kevin in school. My prayers are with family
So sorry for Kevin's passing. We were a small class, but more of a family. All the parents were everyone's parents. I'm praying for you, Mrs, Judy, Regina, and for the children.
We will see him again in Heaven!
I knew Kevin when we both arrived at Smiley Barracks in Karlsruhe in March 1984, as MPs, a day apart from each other. He was quite a character, him always stating that he was a descendant of the Hatfield's and the McCoys, I had attempted to track him down for many years to no avail.
The attached photo has Kevin sitting in the front row, third from the left, dated 9/12/1984 during an excursion to southern Germany for some "Adventure Training".
My condolences to his family.
