Kevin enlisted into the U.S. Air Force on November 28, 1983, and he was Honorably Discharged on November 27, 1987. While in the Air Force he was stationed at Lackland AFB, McGuire AFB, final stop Bayonne Military Ocean Terminal. He will be remembered for the utmost respect for Top Brass and Veterans who were down on hard times he offered the respect all Veterans deserved; in exchange for the sacrifices for our Country.
He was instrumental in influencing Niece and Nephews to join the military. Kevin saw no challenges or hurdles he lived by this saying “Carry on Airman” he learned early on, do not accept defeat, try another way …but do not quit. This mindset he applied to his 14-year journey with chronic illness, staying true to his Military mantra and loved ones with his generous spirit and smile.
