In loving memory Kevin Ian Farrow BA. MA(Phil). MA(His,Hon). MBKTSTS. who sadly passed away on 20th February 2018

Kevin was my partner of forty years, and was a man of many talents.

He would put his all into anything he undertook weather it was in research, singing or just work.

His interest in singing started at St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral, Edinburgh well before we met, and later was revived and he became a pub singer as “Kevin Saint” ending up with a three year residency in a Woolwich pub as a DJ/singer.

Kevin’s work life was to say the least varied starting in catering and bar work, (Always a good fall back) he then went on to work in retail one main highlight of this was as a coffee roster. He then joined me the entertainment industry starting as a doorman and then becoming a projectionist, till he was forced to give up work through ill health.

As we were both not working at this time we both went back to school, and on to university where Kevin did extremely well and ended up lecturing.

And the final chapter in this was all the hard work in put in the Abbey Wood Memorial Garden...

I’m Sure many will miss him for just being himself but I will for reasons that most will not understand

KEVIN WAS MY ROCK.

I first met Kevin when I was 15, he quickly became a great friend and a second brother too me. I could tell him anything an never be judged an often did knowing he wouldn't tell anyone unless I asked him to. I will miss him and think of the times we had together always. Kevin rest an know that I will be looking out for John for you darling. You went too soon
