“This is such sad news and my heart is very heavy. I will be thinking of them all. Kevin was my first fire chief and quickly became a mentor of mine, both in fire as well as municipal government. I was fortunate to have 33 years with Kevin as well as many many rounds of golf. He played the best toe wedge in the game. I will miss him deeply and never forget the times we had.”
