My deepest sympathies to the entire family. Kevin was a wonderful man & great friend to my father, Butch Curtis. Over the years, I have grown-up to joke & laugh with Kevin on various trip to the Dugout. He will be missed & will always hold a special place in my heart!!
I’m shocked and saddened by Kevin’s sudden death. Kevin was as nice and friendly as anyone you could possibly meet. I enjoyed visiting with him at the Dugout. My thoughts and prayers go out to Kevin’s family.
The day I go back to the dugout early just to go see him and get a box for some cards, I learned this happened…we’ll miss you a lot Kevin.
Our deepest sympathies to the family. Kevin was a special friend and will be missed by many. We will miss his laughter. his smile and the hugs received.
I was shocked and greatly saddened when I learned of Kevin’s passing Monday morning. I remember going to The Dugout at it’s old location in the Division Place plaza as a youngster, starting well over a decade ago. I was just at the new location a few months ago to pick up some supplies and had a great chat with Kevin, catching up on things. Always a pleasure to talk to and do business with. Truly a great man. Kevin, you will be missed!
We were very sad to hear of Kevins passing, we have known him for years, and our children have known him all their lives. We will truely miss him, buying cards will never be the same! Our Deepest Sympathies to Kevin’s Family.
sorry to heard him so i would misses him lot because he always chats with me of i’m deaf and he’s good guy i met and good deals with me when i buys any sports cards from him!!!
I golfed with Kevin a few times at Oak Hill. He was always happy, and hit the ball long. He will always be remembered and loved by his golf buddies.
I knew Kevin growing up through the Dugout and later through his consistent golf play and proudly serving him his Honey Weiss for several years at the G Round. I learned a lot about Kevin through the years especially his love for life and the game of baseball! I will miss him dearly and of course miss his contagious laugh!
I`ve known Kevin for 7-8 years playing cards at the Dugout. I`ve had many discussions with him about life, school, and habits. He`s wise and always been a positive mentor. I will never forget his joking ways, his laugh, and the dip of Copenhagen he always had in his lip.. He was a good man and i will never forget him…This next dips for u.
