I was a fellow pupil with Kevin (Salesian Missionary College, Shrigley Park) and he was just one year behind me in Novitiate, Philosophy and Theological Studies, before Ordination. We acted together on stage and we played football together ("The Monks' XI") at Melchet Court, Hampshire. I much admired Kevin's talents and enjoyed his sense of fun. REST IN PEACE, Good Friend!

I was a student of Kevin's in the 90's. His enthusiasm for literature and skill as a teacher was a real source of inspiration. May he rest in peace.
