His great loves included travel, biking, music, and photography. Kevin had many wonderful friends across Toronto and the world. A good friend wrote: “that Kevin was a deeply fascinating man, voracious reader, life-long learner, intellectually gifted, a wonderful storyteller, of strong beliefs and opinions, kind and warm-hearted and a debonair dresser.” In addition to making donations to many charitable groups - most recently to the Red Cross to assist care in Ukraine - Kevin financially supported a family in Nepal for many years. He will be greatly missed by all. Kevin requested that there be no service. Please remember him by doing something kind for someone else or giving to a favorite charity.
