Kevin grew up in Public Landing. With a family of two girls and four boys, Jack and RayeCarol had nary a dull moment. Life was always interesting!
He was employed for 24 years at Sears, then at Baxters and finally at DOT until his retirement. Kevin and Sharon bought a home in Nerepis and raised their boys (and their friends) in this home. Thirty-four years of fun, laughter and plenty of time on the back deck.Kevin was a member of the Bayview Legion, Branch 22, Grand Bay Westfield, NB.
He and Sharon played many a dart game and peeled a few “million” potatoes for Saturday morning breakfast home fries.
Kevin loved to fish, hunt, drive the backroads and share a tall tale or two. He also loved to torment anyone in his life!!!! He thoroughly enjoyed having a group gather around his truck window and swap stories. His laugh was loud, boisterous and contagious.
He loved his family and friends but probably of all his loves, his grandchildren were at the top of the list. He was very proud of each and everyone.
The Arrangements are under the care and direction of Castle Funeral Home, 309 Lancaster Ave. Saint John, N.B. (506 634 1701).
