Condolences to Cheryl, Jodi, Glenn and families on the passing of Kevin.
A valued member of the Kerang Apex Club who we all fondly remember. A man who loved playing cards till the early hours with no coppers, only silver as betting chips. A man we had to train in the art of actually adding ice to the esky as beer drinkers like their beer cold. These were some of the best years.
“BIRD OF PEACE.” Rest in peace.
Past APEXIANS, APEX CLUB. KERANG.
Vale Senior Detective Kevin Dove (Dovey).
Cheryl you spent your life with a wonderful man. I was a 19 year old Constable at Cohuna when I met Dovey. I looked up to him from the moment I met him and used his way of being to guide me during my career. We did some interesting investigating together like wading into Kow Swamp in our jocks to recover a drug crop. How wonderful it was to catch up recently and reminisce.
You left an indelible imprint in your community mate. Rest in peace.

The Card Club are saddened by the loss of Kevin.
Kevin loved his cards and he had one favourite with one lady. This lady would let Kevin know by calling “6 no trumps” which means she has got the top card. Anyone else it was not called. So Kevin for the last game I will call you “6 no trumps”.
Des Shelley.
Cheryl, so sorry for your loss. Fond memories of Kevin back in Apex days. Thoughts and prayers to you all.
