It is with the deepest regret that we must announce the sudden and devastating loss of our colleague and our dear friend Kevin.  Kevin's energy and optimism were infectious, and his passing is a true loss to all fortunate enough to have had him in their lives.  Please remember Kevin and his three children and loving family in your thoughts.
