Happy Birthday Kevin. You are a great asset to FT and to DL. Hope you have a birthday filled with love and joy. (Kind of sounds like a Facebook birthday wish, which it would be, except for the fact that we are not yet FB Friends)

Happy Birthday Kevin. Would you be able to return to Delta as a consultant and show the rest of them how it's done?

HBD Kevin.
Thanks again for your past efforts back in 2010 with the STL DMQM promo posting issues. You're still the man in my book for all your help! Anytime you're in STL, drinks are on me.

Happy Birthday, Kevin...like many others here, you helped me when some bonus miles did not post. You were always the consummate professional, and I can assure you, that Delta would be a better airline if there were more people there who always maintained your high standards of courtesy and helpfulness.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

Happy Birthday! Hope you're having fun out here! Wow you're missed. I'll forever be grateful for your responsiveness. I think you have the record so far for the fastest response I've received from all the airlines, and the fastest resolution of course.

Kevin –
I want to extend my wishes to you to have the best birthday ever! It seems from the praiseful comments that I have read here in these posts that you have performed a number of Delta “miracles” and have amassed a sizeable fan base over the years. I did get a chance to meet you at that special retirement event hosted by FlyerTalk in the Delta hangar. Even though I never had an opportunity to work with you at Delta, I am very grateful that I was there that day to hear from others about how much you meant to them both professionally and personally.
I heard about a quote this week from CEO Richard Anderson that was directed to 100 honorees and their guests attending Delta’s Chairman’s Club employee recognition event held a few days ago and it is equally relevant to you also:
My sincere desire is for you to have all of your birthday wishes come true.
Enjoy it to the fullest as nobody deserves it more than you do!
Warmest Regards,
A DL friend

“In the end, it’s the people that matter, and you are by far the very best in the industry,” Richard stated. “And you’re the very best not necessarily for all the things you do at work, but because of all the things you represent as human beings – and in the end, this is a business about humanity.”
Thanks for being the best at what you did here at Delta and for all of the future great things you want to accomplish personally in the years ahead in retirement. My sincere desire is for you to have all of your birthday wishes come true.
Enjoy it to the fullest as nobody deserves it more than you do!
Warmest Regards,
