I know he will be greatly missed.
These are some memories of Kevin and things I will miss:
His easy laugh
His ready ear and honest opinion
His sagely advice
His funny and tactful way of letting me know I had done something dumb without making me feel stupid
Sticking with Dewar’s with a splash of water
Celebrating birthdays
Listening to jazz at the Knickerbocker
His late night computer help questions – not! ;)
His generosity
The political discussions we would have that went on for hours
I will miss these things and more, but most importantly I have been blessed to have known a man as thoughtful, ethical, kind, classy, and wise as Kevin. I will carry his memories and lessons in honor of him, sharing them and in so doing, Kevin’s spirit will live on.
That a single act of kindness, a compassionate gesture, a feeling of solidarity toward those who suffer, and the forgotten ones among us can indeed not only transcend differences and do away with strife and prejudice, but also unite the human species and elevate it to a higher and much more universal level of consciousness and thus lead humanity to pioneer a new history free of war, greed, hatred and that deadly monster we call prejudice which sadly keeps most humans unable to truly know and have love and respect for each other. Kevin was a wonderful and rare example of a true friend.
With this, D'Anna & I offer a wreath of gratitude and a prayer for salvation and eternal love for his luminous, loving and forever undying spirit.
We'll always be thankful for the gift of his friendship and hold him in loving memory.
With deepest respect and Love and comfort to all of his loved ones

My memories of Kevin
I met Kevin in 1983. We were introduced by Lenny. I think he thought 2 single people maybe.... it wasn't a "love connection " but 2 people who had mutual admiration for one another. Kevin was a knight in shiny amour. He was a chivalrous man. He waited for me (when everyone left) while I locked my bicycle up when it was Alphabet City and not the East Village. He always called me up to see if I needed a ride when we were going to the same party. And yes, I waited in the car, while he ran in to get pastries from Veniero's. It wasn't as fast as he thought it would be. We would discuss politics but we were on the same team. He would fill me in with things I didn't know about or the circulating conspiracy theories. When we were at a party at Jon's he would love to watch us dance. He would always have a big smile on his face. And every once in a while he would dance with all of us. And of course he would ask me if I needed a ride home. I said I was taking the train because my friend was taking the train. Without blinking an eye, he said he would drive him to the upper westside. He was truly a beautiful person. I only wished he knew how he was so helpful and cared about and loved. I was so glad I went to the memorial service and party in his honor. Thank you to everyone who shared great stories and memories. He was someone I proudly called my friend and he will be greatly missed! With love and hugs to Kevin! Barbara
