I remember Kevin as a great father!  Our son, John Shaw was good friends with Alexander.  John Shaw spent many a day and night in the Shaw-Wilke household.  John Shaw would come home telling us funny stories of 'Mr. Wilke' playing games with them, joking with them and being an all around wonderful person.

I remember water ballon battles at 'Go Karts Plus' with the boys...oh, Kevin was just as competitive - what great fun!

We will always remember Kevin's sense of humor, his kindness and his flexibility with move after move and his smile...which always looked like he was up to something!

He will indeed always be remembered, loved and missed.

Sending love to Valerie and Alexander!

Love,

Cheryl

I have a few favorite Uncle Kevin stories that I would like to share:

- Playing in your pool in Miami and he would chase us (the children)

-Going to mass together earlier this year

-Two weeks ago he told me that my ex-boyfriend, Mike was a know-it-all (which he totally was)-thanks for that, Kev! I needed to hear that.

-Shortly after Kevin's diagnosis, I was hospitalized, and when I came home there was a sweet, heartfelt letter waiting for me in the mailbox from Kevin giving me life advice.

-When our famillies went to the Bahamas together and one morning we went to your room and  Alexander was in his underwear doing "underwear karate" and Kevin was going along with it- I still laugh when I think about this (this was probably 16 years ago)

There are so many more, but I think these really highlight who Kevin was.

Kevin, you will always be remembered, loved and missed.

Rest in peace.

With love,

Nat
