Dear Linda and all of Kevin’s family,

It was a pleasure to work with Kevin and to watch his face light up when he talked about Jake. We swapped grandkid stories, but before we were grandparents; he warmly welcomed me at Bellari – funny, my 1st day at the photocopier. From that day on, he would stop briefly each morning at my cubicle and Nancy's just to be sure to say hello to us - and if our days were busy; which they were for all of us, of course…he would make a point to stop and say goodbye at the end of the day. I also remember when you came to visit with your daughter and grandson – what a happy boy! And could you be more proud grandparents?!?!?! On the day I was leaving Bellari (moving out of state) I reminded him of my meeting him on my first day. Now I had relocated from Chicago with IL plates, etc. and I remember how we laughed when he asked if I was running from the law! I have very fond memories of working with him and his subtle wit. I hope you and your family’s memories for all the years of Kevin’s life give you comfort. My deepest sympathy to everyone.

Dear Linda, Britt, KC, and Joe:

Our hearts are broken. We are sending our love, prayers, and hugs of support your way. We are so, so sorry for your loss. We wish that all of our prayers could have manifested a happier outcome for Kevin in his battle with cancer. But, we were all praying for an end to his pain and suffering, and so, we believe that everyone’s prayers were answered…after all, we were all praying for him to get better, ... and now he is…his suffering is over and he is in a better place. We are sure that his brother, Harry, was there to greet him on the other side.

We are so very proud of all of you…and we are sure that Kevin is even prouder…you all did a wonderful job of caring for him and surrounding him with your love and support in his time of need. You are his legacy.

Although he will no longer be present here on this Earth, remember that a life is a continuous thread…it weaves itself through love and memory, and remains a part of everyone it has touched. Keep your love for him and your memories of him close in your heart, and he will always be with you. May the Lord hold his soul in the palm of his hand for all eternity.

Working with Kevin over our years at

Bellari proved to be one of the more inspirational friendships in my life. His dedication to his family and career was a constant source of joy. I will always cherish Kevin’s special place in my heart and remember him with sincere affection.

Following my retirement, Kevin would never fail to call me on my birthday and catch me up on his beloved family news.

I consider Kevin my closest friend and many fond memories come back to me of our years working together. He was one of the finest people I have known. He will be sorely missed, rest well my friend.

I always had a fun time in Boy Scouts Troop 91 with Kevin. He was a Patrol Leader so We'd make some Mega Good Brownies at his House. In our weekly Knotted Handkerchief Dodge Ball Games at the American Legion Hall, Kevin even invented a Rope a Dope Defence by Kneeling in the Corner daring You to take him Out with a Coordinated Attack. You will be missed my Friend!

To Linda and Family,

We offer our heartfelt sympathy at this difficult time. You are all loved beyond measure. May the beautiful memories cradle you in warm comfort.

We wish Kevin a good journey filled with Coca-Cola, Yankees games, the animated TV series of his choice, pierogi, and fragrant roses along the way. Godspeed.

Love,

Margie and Nick Pavlichko

Linda, Brittny, KC, Joe,

You are in our thoughts and prayers and always in our hearts. May your memories give you peace and comfort.

Each time a rose blooms Kevin will be near.

Love, Auntie Matt & Uncle Tim
