I sure miss my monthly visits to the auction house being able to see Keven at the podium.

I was just talking to someone yesterday about how much I miss being at the Bunte auctions. Kevin was very good to me.

Prayers and condolences to Kevin’s family and friends. I enjoyed seeing Ziggy when I would work at Buffalo Wild Wings in Algonquin. The master of trivia. Such a smart and sweet man.

I am so sorry to hear this news. I loved being at the auctions and developed a lot of respect for Kevin over the years. He was kind and patient and helped me by making various donations to a few of my fundraising endeavors.  I got a kick out of his interest in my son's music and the band.

He was a kind hearted, caring man. He loved his family. Let’s not forget about the hours he spent playing and coaching mens softball. We will miss you . Love to Joanne, Samatha and David. May his memory be a blessing.

Kevin was the greatest boss I ever had. Greatest job I ever had. Best part of that job was staying after hours to work and spinning albums. We were heroes just for one day

Kevin stood in line overnight to get us 3rd row tickets. He was that kind of guy.   Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.

I am so sorry to hear about Kevin's passing. I wish that during our mutual lifetimes we could have been closer as families. Our parents had the same mother and over the years I enjoyed your father and mother. Love to all of us.

Wow, this obituary could not have been written more perfectly! Kevin was an awesome guy (Ziggy as well). I remember him telling me that he joined the Air Force to travel the world… only to get stuck in the US. He had the perfect mix of good (and not-so-good) jokes. Years after I quit being a bartender at BWW, I could still reach out to him and get a laugh. We lost a great one! He’ll be remembered!!!

I have not seen Kevin or any of his family for years. However, I used to babysit for Kevin and all of his brothers and sisters. They were the best kids that I ever babysat!!! Sometimes, I would let Kevin and his older brother Joe stay up and watch tv with me for awhile past their bedtime! (I’m sorry Mr. and Mrs. Bunte) The youngest (I think his name is Johnny) was always terribly shy around me so the older kids would put him to bed. Sending my prayers, love and deepest condolences to the whole Bunte family. God bless you all!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
