Dear Tennyson family, I share in the grief of your loss of Kevin. Kevin worked hard with a group of dedicated volunteers attempting to prevent the greatest act of public vandalism in New Haven in recent times, the destruction of the New Haven Coliseum. I am sure that from his new vantage point in heaven, Kevin will figure out how to get a new public sports venue in New Haven. We will always remember Kevin's place in the rich history of sports in New Haven. To Kevin: we will meet again!
God Bless him,and comfort his family. Very Sad, RIP Kevin
Sharon and I are deeply saddened by the passing of our good friend Kevin. I met Kevin at a hockey game and we became instant friends. I was proud to have him work for me with several teams, and Sharon and I were equally proud to have him be part of our wedding. You will be missed my friend. In my heart I know that right now Kevin is sitting in heaven's rink doing stats for the greats of the game.
