C Body Bob
Old Man with a Hat
I just got a phone call from a mutual friend of Kevin Walsh. Kevin was a big C body fan. He had 2 beautifull fussies. A gray & a blue one. I don't think he ever posted on the site, but he was on here a lot reading our post. He was a big man. Nearly 7 foot tall. He was a tower rigger & travelled the country in his Dodge Cummins dually. I meet Kevin 2 years ago when he came by my house to get some parts. We hit it off imediately. He was from Alabama & always talked about going back home to be with his family. He found a house there a few months ago & bought & had moved back, but decided to remodel the house so he drove his RV down to Alabama & set up in an RV park while he was getting his new house ready. Then last month on a job site in Kentucky he fell & broke his hip. When a 7 foot man in his late 50's comes crashing down it can't be good. He got in his truck & drove himself back to his hotel & called another mutual friend to come get him & drive him back to Alabama. Our friend flew out there & took one look & said big boy you going to the hospital. Your in no shape to travel. Big Kevin was in the hospital in Kentucky for two weeks. He finally made it back home, but still was not able to go back to work. Apparently he was having some complications from his surgury or medicine & was admitted to a hospital in Alabama. He was released & went back to his RV & seemed to be ok. He & his neighbor where suppose to go to a lumbar yard this morning to get some flooring & Kevin didn't show. So the neighbor went to the RV park & found Kevin dead in his bed. Local authorities say no foul play & therefore no autopsy. Listing it as probable heart attack. I'm going to miss Big Kev. He was a good man. RIP big guy !!! I hope there's a Harley & a New Yorker in heaven for you to enjoy
