Kevin was a caring father and grandfather who loved his family very much.  He was a man of few words and observed more than he spoke.  But when he spoke it was profound, and everyone listened.  Kevin grew up on a farm in Connecticut. He loved animals, motorcycles, cars and especially going sailing with the love of his life, Elizabeth.  He enjoyed shooting and going to the shooting range.  Kevin spent most of his life serving others. He will surely be missed but treasured memories will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

A memorial service to honor the life of Kevin is being planned for a later date.
