According to his obituary:

“Born and raised in Down Neck, Newark, Kevin later moved with his family to Elizabeth, and settled in West Caldwell over 25 years ago. A member of the PBA, Kevin worked as a district supervisor for the State of New Jersey, Bureau of Parole for many years, retiring in 2000. A talented bowler, Kevin was a huge fan of football, and enjoyed cheering for (and gambling on!) his favorite team, the Cincinnati Bengals, every Sunday.

“Kevin carried fond memories of his attendance of Woodstock throughout his life, putting that same spirit of love into everything he did. Always living in the moment, Kevin most enjoyed relaxing with a fine cigar, and listening to his favorite CDs. He also treasured the nights spent dining out at local restaurants, savoring the good company of his family and friends.”

“Kevin was the beloved husband of 33 years to Aimee (nee Gruccio) Quinn. He was the loving father of Ashleigh Quinn, and dear brother of Carla Lee Nicolai and her husband Gus, and the late Gerard Quinn. He is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews; and was greeted in heaven by his many faithful and beloved family dogs.”

In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to the Wounded Warrior Project (learn more).
