My thoughts & prayers go out to Kevin’s family & his dear sister Margaret. God Bless Jim McNally
I can’t tell you how sad I was to hear of Kevin’s passing. He was such a wonderful addition to the World Sleep people. I loved talking politics with him – I’m sure we drove everyone else crazy. His love of is family was also a major topic. He was so proud of his entire family, his great parents, he beautiful wife, his fabulous sons and his great siblings. He will be greatly missed.
Donna. Michael and I extend our deepest sympathies to you and your children during this very difficult time. We are so sorry for your loss. Michael and I both worked with Kevin at Abiomed. I have fond memories of Kevin and his love of the Red Sox and opening day and his great skill at trivia.
Donna, Chris and Ryan: I was heartroken to hear about the loss of Kevin. I was glad to have had a few opportunites to get together with him recently for lunch, or a few beers with Kevin R and Skip, or to go with him and the crew on the crazy bus to the Pats game. He sure knew how to have fun. Like everyone nowadays, we don’t stay as close as we should. Kevin always made me laugh and I will miss him. I recall my son Keifer first learned to skate with him with the DYH crew at Salem State. A long time ago. I enjoyed working with him at Abiomed and have great memories. I live away now and could not come. I am sorry, but you’re in my thoughts. Steve Johnson
