RIP Kev

Hi all
Can I ask a small favour ?
When I was here last, I received a private message from a member that contained a conversation trail between Kevin and him about his daughter's trip to Scotland. I've thought about how nice it was to read some of Kevin's own words, it felt like hearing from him again and was thinking it might be comforting if I could read some posts actually written by him, not in his private messages (I would honour that privacy), just on the site in general ?
I've spoken to Steve and he informed me that there's a function that would allow me to find stuff he posted.
So my question is, is it ok to use Kevin's membership to maybe have a wee look ?
Thanks, Elaine.

Absolutely Elaine! Here is Kev's avatar, and if you noticed on the bottom there is text that includes Postings. Click on that and you can see all he's written

I tried to call Sticks to let him know he's needed here, but he didn't answer. I'm sure he knows exactly what you're looking for and will be able to help when he gets here. I'll try calling him again in a bit if he doesn't show up before long.

Thanks again Steve but its ok. I mentioned his private message because that had been the only thing I had seen so far that had contained Kevin's own words and I know where to find that. I was more looking for posts that Kevin has made in the public areas and I've found them thanks to you and Far Rider.
 
Elaine, you are welcome to read any of mine and Kevin's DM's. Feel free to do so and I'm glad you came back!

Edit: I went back and looked at my DM's and I only have the one message thread with Kev...I swear I thought I had at least one more, but i guess I don't. So sorry

God bless

Denny

I am still trying to process the loss of Kev.

Our conversations were of many topics but, most of all, he gave me fantastic advice on life when I needed it and was a friend when I needed it the most.

I would have walked into fire for him and would for the rest of the guys from then. I owe yall so much.

I will see you on the other side Brother Kev.

Wow ! Thank you
 
On a side note, with all tender due respect to Elaine, and this comment is strictly about all of us in here.


So for all of those who like to hang here. Plain and simple.

There are times in a mans life where as unpleasant as it is....you need to man up. AMS needs to man up and offer a sincere apology for his rudeness (to both Elaine and to the room), or he doesn't deserve the rights to be one among us. If you don't respect those who have went on, you don't respect the living. My Mother always said if you have nothing good to say, then say nothing at all.. This needs saying. I aint sorry for putting it here. Let er rip.

I get it Steve. My whole world has been on pause since I heard the news.

It's weird because I really didn't know Kev but at the surface level, but I keep thinking that it affected me more than it should. It's been a weird week. I keep saying that the world will level out and get a semblance of normalcy, but it just keeps getting wierder by the day. I can't say that it has affected me as much as those close to him, because it just couldn't. I can say, since I've lost someone else extremely close that things do get better and only in the sense that the hurt from losing slowly morphs into joyous memories and longing. At least for me that is how things have changed.

As I'm drinking a fine Scotland single-malt tonight, I remember the good times and tearful laughter that Kev gave to me and us. I cannot count the number of times reading his derails in forums had me choking with laughter, tears streaming down my face and the wife asking me, "wtf is wrong with you!?!?" The solace and comfort I have is knowing that I need to pass that along to people around me so that, if they could experience a mere sliver of his good humor and cheeky commentary, the world will be a slightly better place.

yes, those are tears in my eye, and btw, FU. RIP Kev.

I remember one particularly funny Christmas message he just randomly sent me one year.
Just the kinda guy he was. I will remember him very fondly.
Lots of tears this week.
 
Guys, I have been reading your posts since the last time I was here and the level of compassion on display is absolutely wonderful. It's abundantly clear the regard in which he was held.
Kevin was an excellent judge of character and kept his circle small so if he invested his time in maintaining these friendships then that more than enough for me.
Some of your posts deserve an individual reply and I promise I'll get round to it. Thank you.
