Our family was deeply saddened at the news of Keven's passing. The Sir taught my brother David and I at Green Acres School in the early 1980s, which began a lifelong friendship with my brother, myself, and my mom Hermi.
I know I'm not alone when I say that Keven was the best teacher I ever had. He always went to bat for his kids, always encouraged us, and music time was always fun when he sat down at the piano. With 'The Sir', it was all about respect. Few people I've known commanded respect like he did. And he earned every bit of it. Here's a story my former classmates and I talk about fondly to this day. Our Grade 6 teacher left the room to make photocopies down the hall, and the roar in the room began to grow as 30 suddenly unsupervised kids began to talk, laugh and basically sound like a hurricane. Keven, who had been teaching his class next door, suddenly appeared in the doorway. And all sound immediately ceased in that room. He had that stern look on his face, he adjusted his glasses, stared at us for a few moments, then returned to his work. He didn't have to say anything. The message was received.
We will remember him as a man with a kind heart, a great teacher and friend who always carried himself with class. Our sincere condolences to his family. He is truly missed.
