    Kevin, thanks for showing myself and so many others the true tenets of our profession by always serving others well in their time of crisis. Your smile and laughter always came at the most appropriate and necessary time, for both those you served and those who had the honor of working alongside you. Rest in Peace my friend.

    Sad to hear of Kevin’s passing! Have been trying to reach him for the past three years. He and I went to Notre Dame High School in Riverside and attended Riverside City College together. He join our Fraternity in Fall of 1966 and was an Active when I join I the Fall of 1967. He was a good friend at Notre Dame and during our time at RCC. I will let the other brothers of Lambda Epsilon Beta Fraternity know of his passing. God Bless!

    Kevin was an amazing friend, paramedic and instructor!! I was so sad to hear of his passing. I will always hold a special place in my heart for him and his family. We taught disaster preparedness CERT classes together and his impact was felt by many.
    Love and peace to all of you!

    I am so sorry its taken me this long to respond. Thank you for all your love prayers cards and support. I really could not have made it thru this time without all the help. Kev and I had been together for 33 years, we made many memories and saw places and things that only people dream about. We were able to live our Dream to live in Hawaii for 12 years. Kev’s health and a new grand daughter pulled us back to San Pedro. As Kevs health declined we tried to make every day count. The fire department and the many stories have been recorded on video so the grand kids will be able to hear and see their Papa Poore. Once again I am so thankful for all you have done. My life has changed forever, but forever I will love him..Aloha Pam
