Very sad to hear about Kevin’s passing. He and I worked together for a number of years from the late 90’s into the middle of the following decade anchoring and reporting sports on WCBS 880 Radio, New York. On weekends, we even worked back-to-back, Kevin mornings and myself in the afternoon, so I got to know him pretty well. Kevin was an engaging personality. His love and passion for sports, especially the Mets, and music, especially Chicago, will stay with me forever. He was also very opinionated and believed fiercely in how he approached his craft despite sometimes interference from upper management. He usually won those battles. It was sad to see what MS did to him. He was a big, strong, strapping, well-built guy when we first met in 1997. I watched as did the rest of us as the effects of Multiple Sclerosis took away his life bit-by-bit, piece-by-piece, his colleagues like myself knowing there was nothing we could really do to help or reverse the effects of this ravaging disease. May God have mercy on his soul and watch over him…Kevin was truly a good soul…and may he rest in peace forever and ever, Amen. We’ll always remember his sign off at the end of every report: “Sports at 15 and 45 past every, I’m Kevin Connors, WCBS NewsRadio 880.”
