My condolences to the Farwell Family. Just learned of Kevin’s passing. Worked with him In 1970 at WSMN. A very unassuming person but very passionate when it came to his chosen profession.

Dana, Holly, and Judy, I have very fond memories of Kevin and our annual Christmas parties at Memere and Pepere Soucy's house. Kevin wanted to be a radio announcer as early as 10 to 14 years of age. He would pretend that he was a radio announcer. His dream came true in real life. He will be missed.

Dana, my thoughts and prayers are with you and the whole Farwell family. I did not know Kevin, but it was clear that you were very fond of him when you shared some stories of him with me and my sons last summer while planning my husband’s funeral. May the comfort that you and Judy give to so many grieving families, now be bestowed on you and your family.
