Kev is remembered, by his many work mates, as having NSW Number plates  KEV-000 displayed on his vehicle(s) – an old yellow Chrysler then a gold Holden Statesman at Hurstville.

He is also remembered as being a great bloke by his work mates.

He has been highly respect by all that have worked with him and is being greatly missed by his wife, children, grand children, sister & brother-in-law.

If everyone had Kevin’s integrity and loved and cared for their family and friends as Kevin did, the world would be a much better place.
