I found that picture of the Crusaders in my files and I just had to add it. Kevin was such a class act. I send my prayers to the family.
There's Kevin..of to the right...after Canevin won the State Catholic League title our senior year. He was a dear and gentle man.

To the Family:
I worked with Kevin at Towers Perrin for several years. He was a brilliant consultant, but more importantly, a wonderful human being who cared about those around him. He never hesitated to help me on a project or give me the guidance needed.
He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

My deepest sympathy to Lori, the girls and the McCarthy family. I had the privledge of working closely with Kevin for many years, especially on Medicare changes. He was kind, sincere, honest, and one of the nicest people I have known. His patience with Towers staff and especially retires of our clients, was unparalleled.

My prayers to the entire McCarthy family. Although I did not know Kevin personally I have had the chance to know his daughter, Jennifer, and her family. I am sure that the loveliness of Jenny is an indication of the wonderful father he has been in his life. May you find comfort in the faith he has handed down to you and to the many friends and family that surround you. Much love, Cathy Weadon

As a kid growing up in Thornburg, Kevin was a good friend. If you didn't get along with Kevin, it was probably your fault. We lost touch over the years but he remained a key part of my personal history. He will be missed. My prayers go out to Lori and his family--all of them.

Dear McCarthy Family,
I worked with Kevin when I was at Carngeie Mellon. He was the most kind-hearted and gentle man. When he had sessions with our retirees, he treated them like they were his grandparents. He was a true gem of a man. May you always cherish the memories of Kevin in your heart. My heart-felt sympathy to all of you.
