May God Bless the entire Farley Family. 
Cathy & Tommy Carroll (Revlon)

Although I had know Kevin for a brief time, I was looking forward to a friendship and share in the loss. Working side by side, I learned about Kevin and his family. He fondly spoke of his wife and children. He made me aware of the full scholarship for Tim. Also proud of Mike with his purchase of the snow blower and income that could be made. Julianna was definitely the daughter to make the family complete. He seemed so happy at work and was such a pleasure to share the daily grind. Know that he often spoke about what was most important to him, his family. I was so disappointed not to meet you at the service, but my mother died on the 4th and buried on the 6th. I was definitely thinking of you.
My condolences to you,
Bob Manzi, Fencco
