   So sorry for your loss, I worked with Kevin for many years at the highway department had a lot of fun and great times with him. I was also with him when he got his springer Harley in new Richmond and I watched him ring the bell the day he purchased it we had a lot of fun riding together over the years he will be deeply missed.
