Kevin, was an all around great Man, he was funny, patient smart and always made things fun.  He was my friend and mentor and  I will always remember Kevin with a smile   I am so grateful for his friendship. God bless. 

 I met Kevin in CLE in 1981. He was my supervisor, and also one of my best friends.   He was in my wedding, and we had remained  friends ever since.   I don't have any funny stories to share, I just wanted to pay him a tribute. He always calm, cool, and  had a hell of a lot of common since, although debatable,  for us both at times, away from work.  Kevin was one of the best supervisors I ever worked with as well as a great friend, who will be missed by everyone that knew him. I wish Kevin, and his family, peace.  Take care old fiend, I hope to meet up again someday.



From the many late nights of flight cancellations on the ticket counter, to snow and miserable weather on the ramp, Kevin was there.  Fondest (repeatable) memory may be trolling for fish on Strawberry and not giving a damn if we caught anything.  He was my boss, peer and friend and I will miss him.  

My favorite memory of Kevin was when he went along with my plan to play a joke on one of our SLC employees. He called him into his office (Kevin was the SLC ramp manager at the time) and told him he was being brought up on sexual harassment charges, the agent left his office, coming down the hallway, yelling "I'm outta here, they are taking my badge!" Kevin did it all with a straight face and did not give anything away. The agent saw me and another co-worker in the hallway and only then did he realize the joke was on him this time! Thanks Kevin for playing along and being a great leader! Your lively spirit and sense of humor will be missed.
