Kevin and I were born on the same day. His family moved into an apt. right around the corner from me. We celebrated our 8th birthday together. His sister Kathy was my babysitter. I reconnected with Kevin again for our 50 year reunion from kensington high school. It was such a shock to hear of his passing. RIP Kevin.
