Kelvin Barr had an infectious smile that would light up any area regardless of its size. If your day was going rough all you needed was a little bit of his joy and you forgot about your problems. He was excited about his job and all the different things he would get into. His comment was always CarStoreforTheWin.

 

Well my friend, Friday night God won, you are with him now and I’m sure you have made heaven a much happier place. I’m sure you had your Music all the way up rejoicing when you arrived, God heard you coming. Rest In Peace my friend, we grieve for ourselves and rejoice for you!
