Kevin we go way back to the days the old bird would yell at us at Mass. You were a good friend to me and my family. Our parents were friends. You were kind, loyal and funny. RIP my friend

I am so saddened by this news. My heart goes out to you, Jemille and Kevin. Growing up next door to you guys, I always thought of "Mr. Kearney" as one of the nicest, kindest dads I knew. Often in the summertime, he would arrive home after I'm sure a long day comforting others through loss, to find the neighbor kids at it again selling painted rocks, lemonade, friendship bracelets, or whatever the ware du jour was. He always made a point to come over and say hello and ask with genuine interest what we were up to. He took time to look at the items on display, knowing intuitively what it meant to us to have our "work" acknowledged. He always left us a few bucks (even at our insistence that the whole table wasn't worth that), but refused to take anything in exchange for the money, saying something like "No, that's OK. I don't want to take your supply! Leave it for others." I know it probably sounds insignificant, but it stuck with me. As silly as it was (painted rocks?!), he never made us feel that way. He never talked down or pandered to us like many adults do with kids. Instead he had a quiet kindness and genuine care that came through in ways he probably didn't even realize. Like a real life Mister Rogers. I will remember him fondly. Love and peace to your family, Rachael

Dear Kevin, Jemille and Shawna, Please accept the deepest sympathy of the extended Fallon Family at the loss or your dear dad, husband and brother. Kevin was a great man and he was so devoted to his family, the Kearney business and his Catholic faith. So many memories come flying by at this time of his passing. I always enjoyed receiving those laminated copies of articles and publicity highlighting my vocal performances in Scranton and throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania that he would send me. Also those yearly desk calendars kept the Kearney's ever in my thoughts and best wishes as the months and years flew by. Kevin, your great grandfather, our "Uncle Tom" was my godfather. What a wonderful legacy of amazing folks and relatives we share! I know there has to be a "grand reunion" going on up above and that the Kearney, Fallon, McLaughlin and Mayer clans are having a grand time enjoying eternal life and looking down and supporting all of us from on high! Give your Dad a great send off just like you gave our dear mother Pauline in September. He deserves the best! The obituary your wrote was amazing and came from a loving heart. Your Dad was SO proud of you! Our love, prayers and deepest sympathy! Tom Fallon and the extended family of Robert and Pauline Fallon

Kevin was a high school classmate of my Mom's, and when my mother and grandmother were both killed in a plane crash back in 2000, Kevin was a rock for our family through that incredibly difficult time. I will never forget when he sat down with our entire family, and said that he had to let us see them if we wanted to, but he begged us to decide not to, and he was crying, saying that he wished he didn't have to see them like that and if we do it will be burned in our memory in a very negative way and implored us not to so that we could keep their image in our minds a good one. My grandfather insisted, but we all talked him out of it, especially since the Funeral Director himself was shedding tears over it. He even offered my grandfather a part-time job driving for funerals, but my grandfather didn't take the offer, even though he should have! He was a wonderful, caring man to our family and every time I ran into him, while at a viewing at his Funeral Home, or at the supermarket, or anywhere else, he always remembered me and asked about our family. My condolences go out to his family, and I hope they know how much he helped so many others deal with their grief as they said their final goodbye to loved ones. <3

I am very sorry for your loss Kevin and family. I got to know your Dad at Penn State and though we lost touch over the years, I always found him to be a special man. I will keep him and your family in my prayers.

Posted by Tom Demyan on December 12, 2018

Kevin I’m so sorry for your loss..god bless to you and your family.. Prayers sent to you all..

Posted by Marie Geeting on December 12, 2018

Kevin and Family, the Kearneys and the Gallaghers go back generations; we're family, so we're feeling your loss too. My deepest condolences to you, your mom and Shawna. You have always been there for my family so if there is anything that any of us can do for your family all you need to do is ask. Tom Sr. passed the gift of gab to KKK: oh how I wish there was surveillance footage of the many talks that took place in the alley behind your business. The G2 Summit had nothing on the Rendham Summits. As you said, my dad, and so many others from Rendham gained a co-conspirator when your dad passed through the pearly gates on Monday. My heart will always hold happy memories of KKK and his unique gift to make me feel so very special. My life is so much richer because he was a part of it.

Kevin and Family, I am so sorry to read of dad's passing. I know how proud he is of you, Kev, and rightfully so. His obituary truly exemplifies how tremendous of an individual he was and I feel so privileged to have known him. Each and every time we conversed, there was no shortage of smiles, laughter, and stories. I will truly miss him and his welcoming nature. You all are in our thoughts and prayers. We are only a phone call away should you need anything. Chris and Lauren

I am so very sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Both your Dad and you showed my husband and I such compassion while making our final arrangements. When my husband passed you came to the house and showed me so much caring , love and support during a very devastating time for me. Your family and the O'Dell's go way back and we consider each other as family. My prayers and love go out to you and your family. If you need anything please don't hesitate to call.

Posted by Karen J O\'Dell on December 12, 2018

Dear Kevin, There are no words to express how truly sorry I am for you, your mom, and your entire family. You said it beautifully, your dad was truly a "good man". Both my dear Eric and myself admired his strength, courage, and true optimism he always showed whenever in his presence, and he and Eric shared some hearty laughs and stories about the "good old days" in that chemotherapy clinic where they found themselves together many times. As you know, when you lose someone of this magnitude in your life it is never quite the same again, but I am slowly learning to relive the best moments and be grateful to have had such pure Love through God's gift of them in our lives. I know you too will find peace and comfort in these memories of a truly great man and a life well lived. Sending you all my prayers, deepest sympathies and love at this devastating time. Love, Lisa Salerno and Family
