(from the blog author)
My good friend, Kevin Corrington, whom I knew for the past 7 years onstage in “An Evening in December” and in the tenor section of First Covenant Church’s choir, was a man whose influence extended far beyond the narrowly-focused perspectives each of us have. So, it was not a great surprise to me to find that my entry on Kevin generated a lot of traffic to my blog.
I am encouraged by Kevin’s many friends (especially Darthmeister, mindknumbed kid, da Bunny, everthink, Hawkeye, Just Ranting, and others from the Scrappleface site) who have come to my page believing that this is the Great Santini’s official legacy page. But it’s not, this is just one man’s blog page on a good friend.
Instead, please visit the Corrington family’s tribute page at legacy.com ( http://www.legacy.com/SacBee/DeathNotices.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonId=100974375 ) and extend your gracious thoughts of Kevin there for his family to see.

God Bless All of You,
~Andy GeeWhiz, his friend

I only knew Kevin as “The Great Santini” at the Scrappleface site. As I read his posts, I would often think to myself, “I’d like to be able to talk with him”. Now, knowing that he’s where I’ll be someday, it’s comforting to know that we’ll have eternity to talk.
This in no way lessens the fact that, in the here and now, we already miss him a lot.

As another who only knew Kevin as The Great Santini at Scrappleface, may I offer words of condolence to his family and friends. He shared his loving spirit and talent there often over the years and will be sorely missed.

Please be comforted by knowing that he touched the lives of many in a positive way. My prayers are with you all.

.Although we never met in person, Kevin was our friend and we grew to love and respect him thru his humerous comments and parodies. Always the gentleman, “the great Santini” never failed to thank us when we offered words of astonishment and praise of his brilliant parodies. Our one question was “how do you do it?”
He Loved the Lord, his wife and children, his church and we of Scrappleface knew he loved us. He was truly “The great Santini’.
I miss you Kevin,but will see you by and by.
Keep ‘em laughing!

Though we never met in the flesh Kevin was like a brother. His uncompromising wit was unparalleled and his song parodies were brilliant, sheer genius.

Yet another of God’s faithful servants has gone home to the eternal embrace of our Great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Sad…

But what a nice and honoring tribute.

Thank goodness our lives don’t end in this place.
