Memorials We will miss Kevin as a son-in-law. He was one special person, who always had something interesting to say, which usually made you think or laugh. I remember when we visited him and he loved making fresh "Halibet". It was the most delicious fish I ever had. Then of course, there was the golf games with
Joe. Now, Kevin could hit that ball like it was out of a cannon, but where it landed was the question? Yes, we will miss his visits to our home in Green Valley and up at the cottage. This last 4th of July was a lot of fun. He got to take Laura, Lindsey and his nephews Ryan and Nic out on the lake and take them all over the coves. There were so many stories of our times together and it will be difficult to know that Kevin won't be a part of them anymore. I have grieved for all of his family but most of all for Lindsey and Laura, for they will miss him dearly. God be with all of you. Love, Pat & Joe PAT & JOE MCCARTHY, DECEMBER 28, 2011 Laura, We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Just know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely Luis & Dina Vela LUIS VELA, DECEMBER 19, 2011 Many good memories of playing softball with Kevin and his discussing of the perfect bat. Loved the time in Colorado when Kevin and Gordan bet each other on who could hit the most out of the park. He always seemed pretty happy to me, a free spirit. He was a really good teammate and person to talk to. So sorry Laura! Hang on to the happy memories. God be with you.
