When I just came on here and read this, my heart sank. This place will NEVER be the same without him. He "got" my humor whenever I say things just to stir the pot. He NEVER had bad words with me, and vice verca. I even suspect he knew what I did for a living!! Even though his political views somewhat differed, I NEVER had a personal problem with that. At least he never got to live under President Trump!

May the road rise to meet you.

May the wind be always at your back.

RIP Kevin.

This is a terrible, terrible shock! I enjoyed posting and responding with Kevin, and was looking forward to meeting him sometime in the future at a Branford event.

His knowledge of transit, computers, communications brought a great mind, with a sense of humor to this board.

This is so sudden and so very sad. Kevin will be missed. My condolences to you and your families.

I am totally shocked to hear this.

Kevin and I always got along just great. At times we would chat about old time electronics and gave me computer advice. His off beat sense of humor was quite an asset to this board.

And let's not forget his knowledge about what makes subway cars go. He was consoling when my brother passed away early this year, and now he's gone.

Even if I disagreed with him on things, I still respected him immensely. I was wondering why he hasn't posted here recently.

Nancy, I am sorry for your loss. It's our loss too. RIP Kev.

Respectfully,

Bill Newkirk

I met Kev twice. Once on Christmas some years ago with Nancy and heypaul. We rode the (L) line when the R-143's were quite new.

Also at SLTM, had lunch with Kev and Nancy at Wendy's.

Gonna miss you Kev.

First, let me say that I offer my deepest sympathies to you, nancy, and family and friends.

I first saw this post last night. I read in Compressed, so I just saw the subject header, I wasn't sure what exactly to make of it, so I clicked on the post, and then I knew :( At that time, there were around 5-6 responses, I read all of them, then clicked off the post. I then looked at one or two other sites, and then I was like, did that post say what I think it did? So, I looked again, and it began to sink in. Definitely a shock. IIRC, he posted a few days ago, so I'm guessing his passing was somewhat sudden.

I think it is a tribute to Kevin that pretty much every regular SubChat poster has weighed in on this thread with their condolences, even those who didn't always agree with him. RIP

In the days, weeks and months ahead, please don't hesitate to lean on the SubChat family for support if you need to.

Like any dysfunctional bunch our day-to-day discussions may be a bit rowdy and distasteful, but I'm sure the family will come together quite nicely to support their own.
