Judy and family,
Kevin was an inspiration to me. He was a great teacher, coach, role model and Christian. He helped me buy the set of golf clubs I still use. I will always remember him. I will be praying for you today.

A True Role Model
Kevin was my seventh grade teacher and I also had him in eighth grade as well. I always enjoyed his class and he was an inspiration to me. Him and his wife inspired me to become a teacher. He was "like" my favorite "like teacher. If he saw the last sentence I just typed he would have the red pen out and my sentence would be destroyed. He had a great sense of humor and I loved going to his class, even if he made fun of us for saying "like" after every word.

Judy and Family,
We are very sorry for your loss and we are praying for you and for Kevin. We have known Kevin since childhood. I lost track of Kevin after graduation in '67 but 13 years later I was out running and Kevin drove by. When he saw me, he stopped and we talked for quite some time. That is the last time I saw Kevin.

I knew Kevin as a golf coach. I was the coach at Leoti and I always enjoyed playing with him and against him. He is in my thoughts and prayers.
