Mike Witmer’s holiday lights always include a tribute to his beloved young neighbor who died of cancer
Kevin and his sister were around the same age as Witmer’s son and daughter, and they all swam together at their local swim club. While the kids played, the parents socialized.Santa thief forgiven after returning with roses to apologize
But to Kevin’s family, it was very meaningful. They were delighted, Witmer said, and Kevin earnestly asked if Witmer would put his name in lights every year.The following year, he shifted the sign from “Get Well Kevin” to “Hi Kevin.” To make it exciting for the boy, Witmer painted “Hi Kevin” on scrap pieces of wood, then hid them around his Christmas display. Every year, Kevin would try to spot them. It became a fun game between the two of them.
In his speech, Witmer vowed to make his annual “Hi Kevin” display bigger than ever, so that his beloved neighbor could see it from heaven. Witmer kept his promise. “Thank you for keeping his memory alive,” they tell Witmer, who still keeps in touch with Kevin’s family, although they no longer live in the neighborhood, he said. “That response is more incentive to keep doing it.”
