Kevin & I go back a long way, first as mechanics (motor for Kevin diesel for me) then as fellow obsessives for flying and flying instruction.
In the latter case Kevin was my mentor who had much to teach in his common sense and friendly professionalism.
It was my privilege to conduct his wedding to Hilary to whom I extend my sincere condolences.
Of course we are sad Kevin has died, but may the love and friendship we received from him give us cause to be thankful for his life.
May his memory live on in our hearts.

Dear Nelson, I'm really sorry that your Grandad became very sick and died. He was a special man and I know that he was very proud of you and loved you very much. My husband died of cancer too. Sometimes, the doctors just can't fix things. From Mrs. Kain

Dear Hilary, Janelle, Chris and Nelson, I am so sorry about the loss of your much loved Husband, Father and Grandad. Kevin was a pretty special man.
I popped around last Saturday and all the blinds were down. I thought to myself that something really sad must have happened, and sure enough it had. Love, Anthea Kain
