I am saddened to hear that Kevin is gone. 
I am so glad I did get to meet him at the retirement event that Brian and Steven organized:

Condolences to Kevin's family - he was a great guy the times that I had his help. I also will forever remember the experience he helped create at the DL ATL DO years back.

RIP to a man that was an inspiration. He helped me a lot during my days as a PM/DM and now as a DL employee I can only hope to have a fraction of an impact he had. RIP Kevin...it was an honor knowing you as both a customer and a fellow employee.

Sad to hear of his passing. He was a glimmer of hope and customer satisfaction in a company that has let me down more times than I care to count. He will be missed.

Very sad, if not unexpected, news. He was a true ambassador for Delta, and epitomized what customer service stood for. The one time I met him I can away with the impression he was a very humble person. He was and still is missed.
RIP Kevin, and Godspeed.....

My condolences to his family.
Kevin was one of a kind and a great representative of DL. He always took time to help with problems and make sure they were taken care of.
You will be missed Kevin!

Kevin Pinto passed away the other day after a long battle with cancer. For the last month he was in home hospice.
Many of us knew Kevin from various Delta events and many others knew him as the best example of customer service - ever.
If you had a problem and reached out to Kevin, it was resolved immediately.
There are numerous posts here about Kevin's humor, dedication, and expertise.
Please join in extending condolences to his family and the Delta family that he loved and served so well.
Fly in peace, Kevin.
