What a great guy he was. Know him since he was 5 years old. Watched him pretty much in every step he took in his life. He accomplished becoming a jai-alai player. That was his dream. I remember his mom ordering his cesta directly from Spain in the early 70's. .His eyes lit up like a Christmas tree when it arrived . From them on as a young child h and his cousins Rick and Moe found themselves practicing the sport behind the walls of just about every supermarket I'm town.Everyone is sure going to miss him including me big time. R.I.P kevinHis loved his family very much and we will always love him and miss till we see each other one day
