What a great man and pastoral leader Rev Kev (as he was known )was. He dedicated his time , life and love to the development of St Michaels Primary School during the many years that I had taught there. He was an inspiration and a force of support to all staff and students at not only St Michaels but also Nagle College., branching out to ex students at Patrician brothers Coillge and beyond. It was just a great shame that that over the past few years he was no longer involved as much as he would have liked in the life of these schools. His past involvement and dedication is something that will always be recognised, honoure and appreciated. Not only was he there for the many students but he was also a great support network to myself and to the many teachers that had worked and are still working at St Michaels past and present. Father Kevin is a man that will be remembered as a builder of a community and a great school , he was a man of dreams …a man that saw the best in every person and someone who encouraged the person for the individual that they were. I just wish to say ..,Thank you REV KEV for being my friend. I thank you for all the guidance and support you gave the many students that you visited in my classrooms over the years and most of all I thank you for being YOU God bless you KEV
