I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY KEVIN WOULD BE DISAPPOINTED IF THIS POKER RUN WAS DISCONTINUED AS HE WAS ABOUT SMOKE ON THE WATER. MAYBE IT SHOULD BE RAN IN HONOR OF KEVIN.

Craig I was in the boat that pulled you out of the water, right next to chris ferryman's Skater and my brother has a video of the entire accident if you would like me to send it to you.

I am very happy to hear you are doing well, and very sorry for your loss. Rest in Peace Kevin.

Look for the same thing to happen to this event as SOTW - no more.
This is not the time or place for a post like this. There are a lot of people on here that lost a loved one. How about giving some respect.

I too think next years poker run should be ran in honor of Kevin. I was there with one of the sponsors and he has sponsored this event since it first started. I can see what we can do. I don't think it would be a problem, but i do think it should be dedicated in his memory. Craig I am glad you are doing better and i wish you a speedy recovery, just like everyone else I am sorry for the loss of kevin the couple times i spoke with him at the cincy poker run last year I could tell he was a genuine person. If you need anything or just want to talk let me know. R.I.P. godspeed kevin

Craig, I am very sorry for the loss of your good friend, and my wife and I send our condolences to his family and loved ones.
Wishing you a speedy recovery, both physically and mentally.

It is said that one's greatest strength can also be their biggest weakness. Words to remember always.

Such an unfortuante accident.

Prayers that his friends and family find comfort.
