Dearest Liz and the family, I was so saddened to hear of Kevin's passing. A wonderful man who will be missed by many. Kevin has left so much for you all to hold on to for the rest of your lives, the memories, the love and the laughter. You are such a caring and close family, something he would be very proud of. Much much love to you all, always, Rest in Peace Kevin xoxo

Really sad to hear of Kevin's passing. My memories and interactions with Kevin all involved laughter, and his ability to make anyone around him, no matter how well you knew him, feel good. My friends and I use a word, hypo', to describe someone who is just good to be around, with a big heart, who makes you laugh and who breathes life into any room. This is a term that my friends and I often used to describe Kevin. My thoughts go out to the family and I know you guys will continue to do Kev proud and his hypo spirit will shine through all of you. Much love.

Sorry to hear of your loss Liz and Simon and family.Could I tell you a few stories of the fun we had with Kevin on Alfa Laval conferences.Always a ball of fun and you just did not know what was going to happen next. Bruce Battersby

Dad,
One in a million you were. The most loving kind and generous Dad and Grandad.
I will be forever heartbroken. We will do our best to make you proud and of course will look after Mum. An amazing man gone way to soon. To say thank you for everything you have been for us just isn't enough.

Dear Clare, Craig, Trevor, Liz and families

Another fantastic good sort who been taken to soon.
Our sincerest loce to you all
We remember after Clares wedding, Kev drove us to the airport in his beautiful white beamer - it was a relaxing drive as he showed us all the bells and whistles, anyway we missed the flight (too late) and waited for another 2 hours in the terminal for the next one. It was worth it!! Great guy
May the love and happy memories mend all heartache
