Kevin Kevin kevin,

I just learned of your passing.  I only chatted with you a week before your Demise.  it was an unusual conversation that still haunts the neighborhood.  in my opinion, charity begins at home.  your spirit lives on

Kevin was a great guy .We grew up together at Sacred Heart . My condolences to his family. He will be greatly missed .

To Kathy,Maryanne & The Morrissey Family,
I was saddened to learn of your brothers passing. I would see Kevin in the back of Sacred Heart Church during the Monday night novenas all the time and he would smile and wave. I always thought he was so handsome. My sister and I also had the pleasure of meeting up with him at the local bars sharing a drink, some stories, laughter and we even sang! He was a lovely person, taken way too soon. My ❤️ felt sympathy goes out to all of you. I k now the feeling only to well. Know though he is there with you. Always. You will come to know the signs. Be it a joke you shared, a place you went, or just the memories. He will be there with you. He may even pull a joke on you! And you will know it’s him. As you heal, the hurt will still be so real but God will see you through this. Rest In Peace Kevin... Your friend, Susan

I want to express my sympathy to you.
Kevin was a great guy. He always looked out for everyone.  Kevin was always smiling and cared deeply for everyone.
He always asked me how's your Family.
What a gem he was and gone too soon. 
I will miss him. ❤

I had the pleasure of working with Kevin ‘back in the day’ in the 83 Precinct.  Thought who we were working in Anti-Crime (plain cloths unit).  Always lots of laughs in between working in Bushwick in the mid 80’s with non stop radio runs, etc...Then come to learn you were my ‘Dominican sister’s’ (Maryanne) brother.  Small world.  So  glad our paths crossed. Don’t know why it was time for you to go so soon, but I believe you are at peace.  So sorry your family has to feel this pain. There are no words.❤️

One of the nicest guys to be around .He was a Glendale boy through and through.
Great athlete I loved playing against him in softball . Most of all He loved His Family As well as his friends families He Always showed respect for them. He will be missed 
God Bless Him

I am truly saddened and sorry to hear of your loss. Please accept my condolences and I will keep your family in my prayers in this time of grief.
Kevin "Moose" Morrissey #29 was the heart and soul of the Kamikazes. I will always cherish and treasure those days of summer spent with Kevin. He will never be forgotten , always remembered.  

One of the nicest people I ever met. He will be missed. 

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Kevin’s untimely passing. When I think of Kevin I can only remember his beautiful smile.  Any time I saw him he was genuinely happy and kind. I will cherish the many  memories I have of times we spent together growing up. 

My sincere condolences to Maryanne and the Morrissey family. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all and I wish you comfort in your grief.   May God bless you all. 

I met Kevin in the Glendale neighborhood And he always treated me good.Called me Migz for short.  We would share stories and he had great! Ones. I would impersonate him and with that awesome side grin he had he would say, “ that’s not me” .  I’m gonna really miss him but he lives on in the memories that I’ve shared with him.  Sleep in peace Kevin...

A lot of good memories from our High School days at Christ the King. War stories about the time on the job. Many glasses raised in cheer.  My condolences to the Morrissey family,may Kevin Rest in Peace.

                                                  Frank White

Sending my heartfelt condolences. May he rest in peace🕊

My dad, Pete Thek, coached him in senior softball and basketball in his late teens! I had the BIGGEST crush on him, I was like 6 or 7, and he was always like my big brother.  Anytime I would see him he always knew who I was “Hey, Little TheK! I’ll never forget your dad!” He’d always start our conversations with. 

From My Family we send our sympathies and support to all

I remember playing hockey in his basement a lot of time , he was always good to me despite my handicap. His mom always picked him at school he lived around the corner from my house but I never asked for a ride home but if he said come on I’ll drive you home I took it. You be very miss my friend!!! RIP my friend !!!!

The Morrisseys were the very first family I became acquainted with in August of 1966, not even an hour after my family arrived from Brooklyn to our new home in Queens. I remember Maryanne was the first to come over to greet us, with her ball and a very big smile. Shortly thereafter came Kevin with a grin from ear to ear, welcoming us to the block and neighborhood. He was filled with charm and made it very clear that if I ever have trouble with anyone in the area he had my back. 

We then met Mr. M,  Kathy, Billy, Kay, and Auntie I, who couldn't have been more wonderful people. I remember the mornings Kay would drive us all to school!

Kevin made good on his promise of protecting me (being the shrimp that I was) against schoolyard bullies many times, and always reassuring me by saying "Benny, I got your back, just come and find me!" He was as affectionate and protective as a big brother. He then showed me how to throw a punch, which paid off later on down the line. Thanks, Kev! 

Keven was a master sportsman, but I unfortunately wasn't. He also loved my drumming. So, we made a deal, he'd teach me how to hit a baseball, and I would teach him a drum beat. Both didn't work out too well. But we accepted one another's weaknesses and respected one another's strengths.

Many summer nights Kevin would ring my bell and ask, "Ya wanna sit out?" Which meant, order a pizza and then sit on the stoop until the wee hours. 

Kevin was a man of great character, not to mention one of the friendliest, most good-hearted men I know.     
    
Rest In Peace, My Friend!

Playing stick ball for hours on end, we never seem to grow tired of it. We played endless street games like slap ball, stoop ball, football sewer plate to sewer plate and even cut out cool whip containers to play basketball in the hallway of Kevin’s house. There was no better friend to have in the world to enjoy the sports and games than Kevin. He truly made my childhood special with enthusiasm and spirit. It is my hope that we may continue our games in heaven one day. Rest In Peace my friend, Your childhood buddy Lou Ritter 

Through the years, I have had the unique pleasure of spending time with Kevin. He was always personable and genuinely happy to chat about anything that came up in conversation. He was quick to say things like, "Tell your brother I said hello," and "Let me know if there's anything I can do to help out." If out walking in the neighborhood, he would not hesitate to stop and wish anyone he knew good thoughts. He will be greatly missed. His presence filled a room with good cheer and happiness. Long May You Run buddy! 

I remember Kevin as a sweet, blonde haired boy, one of my brother Louis' friends. I remember Kevin loved to play baseball and his face here on this site brings back such nice memories of the boys playing on the blocks in Glendale in the late 1960s. 

I was so sad to hear of Kevin's untimely passing and my heart goes out to my good friend, Kevin's sister Maryanne Bile and to all of the Morrissey family.

God rest Kevin's soul and give this family some comfort.

Sending love,
Maureen

To the Morrisey Family,

My deepest condolences and heartfelt prayers during this very difficult time. I've known Kevin from the neighborhood for a long time and had many good times. I'm at a loss for words with his passing. Dear Kevin....Rest in Peace and say Hi to Jerry for me.

Carol Smith & Family

Now I will actually have to google my sports questions instead of asking my uncle who knew everything about anything sports related.  Miss you already Key! 

Kevin claimed me as 'one of us on St. Patrick's day as I was always looking for Irish roots'.  He always introduced me as a sister.  He was a very caring adopted brother to me. I  know he is already reunited with his family.  My deepest sympathy to the Morrissey family... Love Fran 

I moved away and hadn’t seen Kev in a few years. But , when I was in Glendale and we bumped into each other, he always brought a smile to my face. I like to think it was mutual. He was always a lot of fun. He would always have your back. Just a great guy. I’ll miss not bumping into him and laughing for hours. God bless you Mar! Until we meet again! Schmitty 

Kevin was a sweet person always had a smile on my face, he was friends with my  husband . He was just a kind man always asked about my kids . RIP Kevin 💔💔💔

Morrissey family, you are all in my thoughts & prayers. Kevin was truly a big hearted “Moose” that struggled for so long. 
Kevin, I always wished the best for you 💔 I’m so sorry to be saying good-bye. But glad to know you are finally at Peace and with your Mom & Dad. I love you. 

Kevin was someone the Thek family knew & cherished for many years. I know my father Pete is there in heaven to greet him, maybe talk some basketball. God rest his soul.

My heart breaks for all of you.  I told my Dad and he  sends his condolences. He enjoyed getting a hug from him when he saw him no matter where it was. 

To the Morrissey Family,

My deepest condolences. Kevin was a kind respectful man. I met Kevin at the Avenue Restaurant and he always had kind words to say. He had a smile that lit up the room. 

He will be missed!! 
May he Rest In Peace.

Dear Morrissey family, 
Our heartfelt sympathies at this difficult time.  We were shocked & saddened to hear of Kevin’s passing! 💔 Gone way too soon; he will be sorely missed! 
Love, Hugs & Prayers,
Ellen & Dennis 

Kev, We met 56 +years ago and we have seen both good times and bad times and this ranks as the worse of course.  I enjoyed the time we had together. We were always there for each other and I am broken hearted but we both have faith and we will see each other later on my friend. RIP

Great memories growing up, playing sports, Spring Break in Fort Lauderdale. RIP Kevin

RIP Moose. Plenty of memories of you at the 83...Strength to your family during this time.
