3. Kevvy - you were one of a kind mate. Always with a smile on your face and a beer in your hand, you had an amazing ability to make the people around you happy.
   I'll always appreciate your tireless work on the Paringa Football Netball Club committee and I'll miss your cheeky comments asking "how's your love life?".
   Rest in peace legend.

4. Well Cuz, I really don't know what write, I'm thinking back all those years ago, I was about eight and stayed at your Preston family home for a night and when leaving in the morning you have me a little turtle and you drilled a hole in his shell where I could tether him until he adjusted to his new home. Just that one act of kindness lasted a life time, even when you had nothing and things were difficult you always found a way to help people. The times we shared a drink or 10 were always time filled with laughter. I'm very sad and heart broken at your passing, but Cuz I will keep the smile upon my face, because that's you. Love you Cuz, Dan

11. Kevin was the most down to earth person I have ever met. No airs and graces, just a big heart and soul. Would not tolerate people disrespecting another person. He stood up for those he felt were wronged, he remained a little boy in a man's body his entire life, I called him a Peter Pan. He remained in my life for the past 63 years. I remember sitting on our front porch in Midway St, I was 13 at the time,he pulled out an onion and proceeded to munch on it. He was honest and a true friend.He looked over me and cared, and God help anyone who said anything bad about me.He will be truly missed, rest peacefully Yogi,thank you for the memories.
