Duuuuuddddeeeee, Your EHS Specialist will miss you dearly, Mary and I love you my friend, you will be missed. Z
Rest easy man. Will always be grateful for your help getting started with Lockheed, the rubber band wars, and New Orleans.
Kevin, you will always live on in our hearts. Your friendship was invaluable. Whenever I heard a Pink Floyd song, I thought of you. When I hear one from now on, no idea how I’ll deal. Rest in peace. Sincere condolences to the Nichols family.
We had some fun times and good laughs together. R.I.P. Kevin
You will be missed terribly! Rest In Peace Kevin!😢

Kevin, I’m heartbroken. You and I had a special bond, my brother. 💔 I have so many special memories with you. Rest In Peace nichols…. miss you and love you.
Hey Kev,
We’ll miss your smile and unflappable wit. Thank you for years of friendship. RIP brother.
Our dear Kevin–my family cannot truly express our sorrow over his passing. Steve and I and our children have known Kevin, his mom Diane, and his brother Dave since Kev was a toddler–charming, sweet, funny, and kind even back then. Right now we are at a loss with words to share with Diane, Dave, Maura, Adam, Kev’s aunt, uncle, cousins, friends, and more about how we feel. So, we hope it eases the burden a bit to say we truly loved Kevin. We promise that his special spirit will live on always in our hearts.

Diane, Ronnie, and Family,
We are heartbroken over Kevin’s passing. Those of us who grew up together on Lynn Terrace
have a special bond that stays with us wherever life takes us. The many testimonials from Kevin’s friends reflect a heart of gold, like his Mom, a great sense of humor like his grandparents Ernie and “Dot” and integrity like his Uncle Ronnie. Please accept our deepest sympathy.
With Love, The Possidente Family- Bernie, Susan, Judy, Karen, Anne and Jan
Love you
To your family my deepest condolences you all are in my prayers.

Bob here. I always liked Kevin – and I think he liked me. He didn’t mind when I called him Peewee – in fact I think he liked it. We’ve lost a good guy.
Dear Family, May God bless you in this challenging time. While I may not have had the privilege of meeting you in person, I feel connected to you in Spirit due to the love I have for Kevin; his personality, love and devotion to those around him. He is now in the loving arms of our Heavenly Father and has much to do as an Eternal being. I know he is watching over his family right now. – Sincerely, Scotty Arrington
