Please accept our condolences from Eileen and myself. I first met Kevin when a junior lawyer at Simes Jacobsen & Steel. He was an astute businessman and good to deal with. Both he and Jean subsequently lived next door to us for a short time at Brackendale Place. Please accept our sympathy and condolences.
