I am very sad to report that Kevin has Passed away. :frown: Having done some checking online and after speaking with people who knew Kevin very well it has been confirmed that he has died. I know he will be greatly missed here. Please keep his family and friends in your prayers.

Both Kevin and I went a long time using the default male avatar.

I think that he picked his avatar after we had had a discussion on aviation.

I would not necessarily claim that this led to his choice, but it may have.

I picked mine about the same time.

I will definitely keep his loved ones in thoughts and prayers, my sympathies go out to them.. Kevin seemed like cool person, and he was so friendly here.

His avatar was of "Fifi", a restored WW II bomber. About a month ago it was at an airport near where I live. One of my BF's is a commercial pilot and he talked his way into going inside. I got to sit in the pilot's seat. I told Kevin about this and I'll never forget how excited he was. I'll miss him!

Kevin was one of our earliest and longest standing members, and a major contributor to this forum both in terms of his postings and his appearances in the chat room. And on a human level, he always seemed to have his heart in the right place and seemed like a genuinely nice guy.

I for one will miss him, and my thoughts are with his friends and family right now.

Yeah, he also shared my interest in World War 2 and I had several enjoyable chats with him about it. Sadly, I can have no more.

And he certainly knew his stuff when it came to aviation. He was the only person I have met on any forum to whom I could mention an ME262 or an FW190 with total confidence that not only would he know exactly what I was talking about, but be certain he'd know far more about them than I did!

I really will miss the guy.

Sad news indeed.

[Scot_Lover 1,878]

OMG, just logged on and saw this, had to be the saddest thing that if ever seen on here.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

R.I.P Kevin, you will be remembered.

Scot_Lover, Maigh and Mary.

I've only been a member of this site for about six months, and I didn't know Kevin well, but I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

[likesToLick 10,216]

Very sad to hear this. He was a decent guy and friendly to everyone.

R.I.P. Kevin.

[MissPiss 1,027]

He was so passionate with this fetish and the few woman he had grown to love. I hope he somehow can see all our thoughts and comments about him. May he rest in peace.

I can give you a run on WW2 fighters i reckon!

Will have to chat about it sometime. You may well know more about that than me, too. :)

It is a horrible thing to lose someone you hold dear whether it's a friend you meet online or one you meet outside the digital world. Unfortunately I did not get a chance to know Kevin, but I knew of him. Every time I posted pictures he would always take the time to rate them, usually giving positive ratings. Although it might seem insignificant to some, his ratings made me feel like a member of the community and that my contributions mattered which made me happy. Now that he's gone, I feel a sort of emptiness inside that I am sure other members are feeling as well.

In life the only certainty is death. Although we have lost a valuable member of our community/family, his legacy will live on through those whose lives he touched. For all of us in this community/family he was a kindered spirit who was taken from us too soon. May his soul find eternal bliss and may he watch over us as we continue to keep the site he so clearly loved alive and thriving.

Rest in peace brother and may God watch over you always. Amen.

Thanks for sharing, May he rest in peace and rise in glory!

[Guest UnabashedUser]

I will miss his banter as well. He was always gracious with his replies to my postings and said kind things about my wife Bonnie. Fair winds and following seas, my brother.

[Sephora 2,372]

OMG !! I am sad to hear this news. I was talking to him almost everyday.

I know he told me he wasn't feeling good at all and that he had many health issues.

So sad :frown:

EDIT: I just saw on his facebook, that he passed away on august 3rd.
