Dear Kevin:It has been almost one year since you left us and there is not a day goes by that we don't think of you. You were a kind friend, excellent cabbie buddy, great leader with your company, and truly, the world lost a fine gentleman. I know you're in heaven and watching over us. Someday, the team (Anthony, Will, Sharky, Dave, ME (SARGE), Jack will be running all the Limos and Taxis' in heaven. May God welcome you to his paradise and rest in peace my friend. We love you. John and Linda Spadaro

This great man became very close over the years with Ron&Karl Tours. We first met him many years ago when he was driving bus for Lamers on 1 of our early trips. Ever since he started Big K he helped my family as well as Ron's with any and all of our transportation. Whenever we had transportation requests for our travelers he was the only person we called. I will miss you allot Kevin!!!!!!!

Words cannot described how incredibly sorry I am for your loss. Kevin was a friend to so many in our industry and was to me personally. He always was the kind of man to not hold back and would tell it like it was in his own kind of way. He will be sorely missed by many, and definitely by me. My prayers are with you all as you grieve this incredible loss.
