KEVIN's Story

UPDATED 09/28/2019 Life Well, it has been interesting since the old days............ I am 46, live in Everett, and have a total of 4 kids, three of which live with me. I have custody of all 4, my oldest son is 25 and is going to Everett Community College. My other three are as follows: girl 14, boy 16, boy 18. I have been married and divorced twice, and I don't know which I like best. LOL. Currently I am living with a woman 12 years my younger, who has 3 kids of her own. Her daughter lives with us and is 17, her two boys live with their father in Tacoma. I am employed more than full time, in a line of work that I am happy in....so far. LOL. I did make it into radio a few years after school, at KTAC there in Tacoma, which was finally put to rest. I played the last song on KTAC, it came from over the satellite music service we subscribed to. It was the Beatles "The Long And Winding Road", very fitting for a station that had served us all so well. Then while still working at the StarLite, I also managed the Bijou, Temple and Rialto theatres in the northend and downtown. Then got unemployed, then got into apartment maintenance, which is where I am at now. I have been at Covington Farms apartments in Everett since 2001 as the Maintenance Supervisor. My staff and I maintain 352 apartments and the property. Those of you who may have known my family, may be interested in knowing that my father passed away on Christmas Day of 1993, from a long battle with diabetes. My mother has developed what I believe they call "White Cell Disease"? It is where her brain cells are slowly dying and she is losing/lost her memory. She has had this for approx. 5-6 years. Eventually she will go to sleep and not wake up. Her body is healthy and she has good check ups, just no memory. My older sister Kathy is taking care of her at home (the old Mancuso place on Alaska Street). Kathy and Kieth are doing well . Kieth is managing the drive in theater in Auburn, and Kathy takes care of mom at their place in Parkland. Karla went to work for the IRS, she became a Revenue Agent while working there and then she retired recently with a medical disability, Karla developed cancer a few years back and has been fighting a courageous battle for awhile, it saddens me to say that, as of today 5/2/07, the battle is almost over, she will not be with us much longer. Karla graduated Washington High in 1974. So far I am in fairly good health, walk a lot at work, and get enough strenuos activity to keep me kinda in shape. The two younger kids keep me going daily between track and year round basketball, and band and swimming. And my kids names in order from oldest to youngest are: Justin (25), Jeremy (18), Joshua (16) and Kyrie`(14) she is my only girl. Anyway, get ahold of me, okay? WOW!!!!! That was apparently written as it said on 05/02/2007. The date today is 09/28/2019. Karla passed away from us on 05/04/2007. My mom, Etta Bell, passed way from us on 05/26/2007. Those of you who knew us, know how Moms and Karlas deaths affected us. There was discension between Kathy and Kieth (the will), and me going "What the ?" I know that things got a little better with time, but unfortunately, it was almost too late for Kathy and Kieth to say thier last goodbyes and I Love You's to each other. I know they did. Kathy passed from us I believe it was August 12 of 2010, from cancer. Kieth continued to manage the Valley 6 Drive In in Auburn until it closed in September/October 2012. Kieth found out that he had cancer about the same time and was admitted shortly thereafter to Good Samaritan Hospital in Puyallup. Kieth passed from us on December 19 2012 from cancer. Karla when she passed was 50. Kathy and Kieth were both 59. As of this writing I am 58, soon to be 59, 12 days after our class reunion. I had my annual check up yesterday. All is goo...Expand for more
d for an old fart like me.. More on my health in a bit. Kids!!! Yes I still have the 4, three boys and a girl. I also have three Grandkids, two boys and a girl. Justin is still single and has a girlfriend. No kids. He is working for the same company as me, doing apartment maintenance. He rents my Mother In Law unit from me. Jeremy is still single, no girlfriend, no kids, just Fluffy his cat. Jeremy has Aspergers Syndrome, a form of Autism. He is working and he lives with his sister, Kyrie`. Joshua is married with kids, two boys 6 and almost 2, Leeum and Kieth. His wifes name is Coree. They bought a house outside of Spokane. He has his teaching degree from EWU and is working as a full time substitute teacher in the Spokane area. Kyrie` is married and has one child so far, a little girl who is almost 3, her name is Ettabelle (sound familiar?) Kyrie` is working in the same industry as I am and has been for about 4 years. Her and her husband Joe bought a house in Marysville. All of my kids are doing well so far, no complaints worth mentioning...lol I changed jobs in 2010. doing the same job, with a different company. A temporary staffing agency that specifically staffs apartment complexs. The company is called Apartment Advantage. I have been with Apartment Advantage for 8 years. As for me. I live in Everett where I am buying my house. I bought the place 9 years ago, it was built in 1942, so it needs some work, which I can do, just need to do it. I am currently driving a white 2007 Chrysler Pacifica Touring (not the van type..ick), I have one other one, a blue one, and I had a red one too. Blue got hurt in a t-bone accident. Red I sold. I still have access to Red, I sold it to my ex wife #2, Karlyn who is accompanying me to the reunion. I guess I am technically single. The gal I was dating left last November to get herself straightend out, and, well, I just did not want her back sad to say. She is currently staying in the bunkhouse out in the back yard until she can find a place that she can afford, and a room mate. My house is a two bedroom, but I am currently renting out the second bedroom to my ex wife Karlyn, who was renting it before my ex girlfriend took off, so I was not going to ask her to move. I have been in good health. I quit drinking on 09/28/2003. After I got a DUI, and got the deferred prosecution, been sober ever since. Although on December 19th 2013, a year after Kieth had passed, and almost to the same time, I had a stroke. It affected me bad enough to where I was out of work for 5 months, had to relearn how to walk and use my right arm and leg properly exercise my face to get the muscles back in shape to stop the sagging, and kinda learn how to talk without mush mouth. I learned alot about my health since then. I have had two surgeries, both for stenosis of my arteries. The first one was in 2014 and a stent was put in, and arteries cleaned out. It was for the Superior mesenteric and the Celiac arteries on the left side of my groin/hip area, I was so black and blue afterward, no pain, just bruised real bad. The second one was in 2018. This time two stents were added to the first one, and my femural artery was opened up and cleaned out then a bovine patch put on it. Amazingly enough, there was no bruising after this surgery. I am glad that I have the vascular surgeon that I have now. The first one wasn't that good I guess, or maybe he was getting sloppy, I don't know. I am by no means rich or well off. I live paycheck to paycheck, with very little in between. I don't have credit cards, and my credit is in the shitter to be exact...lol I do what I can to live comfortably, but not on a credit card, and not illegally...not anymore...lol (use to have a couple grow rooms putting out 12-14 ounces per crop. Not bad for two 5x7 foot rooms.) Enough for now. See you all hopefully soon!!!
