Margy, Lily, Gray, and Henry, Our heartfelt sympathies at this very sad time. "Kev" was a fixture in our home and visited often. He was a happy member of the "band of brothers" David called good friends. Whether it was on the golf course or some other "adventure" there was always a lot of laughs and good times for all. We will always remember him for his smile and great sense of humour. May your memories give you comfort in the days to come. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Margy, I had the pleasure to get to know Kev through John Fleming. Kev and I played golf together in Michigan on a number of occassions and I always looked forward to, and thoroughly enjoyed, those rounds with the big fella. Kev struck me as a solid guy, understated, grounded and one with a great sense of humor. He was a true northerer and I will miss his company.
