So sorry for your loss Connie. I don't know if you remember us or not but Ray use to work with Kevin at truck country back in 1986. His nickname was Buckheat back then. Also I think our daughter, Brittni job shadowed with him when she was a student at Clarke. She is a RN at Luther Manor right now. Take care and know that Ray thought a lot of Kevin. He would always grease Ray's tool box handles too. take care and take one day at a time. Love the Horstman's

I worked with Kevin and many of your good friends at TriState Surgery . I moved to La Crosse ,Wi. 11 years ago. I have thought of him often these past years as I flip through my recipe book and see the recipes he brought me for: Almond Butter Toffee, Turtles, Pretzel Drumsticks, Peanut Clusters, and Peanut Brittle. Each time I see these recipes I will say a special prayer for him and your family. He touched so many lives in different ways and will be missed by many. My heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.

Connie,
Kevin had such a positive impact on my life in my early years. Spending time with Kevin, you, and your kids illuminated for me, the reality of love, family, friendship and true happiness. I reflect on those times often, and try to instill that passion for life and love of family in my life. Words cannot express the profound sadness, soul altering sympathy, I'm experiencing for you, Emily, Michael and Christopher. You and your family will always be in my thoughts and prayers. I will, until we meet again, so dearly miss Kevin's quick wit, that crooked smile with his infectious laugh, the ease in which he made everyone feel, but most of all his friendship. For as long as I live, I will always miss my friend Kevin.

I've worked with Kevin for many years and cannot express fully my sincere sympathy to your family. Kevin was a great person, and took wonderful care of his patients. He took care of me a time or two as well. I don't have words to take away your pain. Just know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
