“TO THE IGOE FAMILY MAY GOD BLESS AND WATCH OVER YOU IN THESE DIFFCULT TIMES. YOUR ARE IN OUR PRAYERS. HE WILL BE DEEPLY MISSED.”
“My boys were blessed to have such a caring assistant principal at Hollywood ES. The impact he made on Corey will never be forgotten. What a gifted man who truly loved his wife and children as well as the children he reached out to every day. My God continue to hold you and your family in his caring hands as you work through this difficult time.”
“Dear Pam, Megan and Courtney, We all feel the loss of Kevin as you do, each in our own way. Your family became a part of ours when Joe and I first started dating, which expanded with allowing Courtney to be a part of our special event. When Myrtle called the house, words were not available. But I know that Kevin is in a better place with God and we are all better people for having Kevin as a part of our lives. Know Joe, the girls and I are right across the street (in a sense) and will be there in a minute when you need us.”
“My heart is with the Igoe family in this time of heartache. I went to WMES where I got to walk in and see him smiling everyday. He shook my hand numerous times as he gave me awards and never forgot who I was. He had courage and had kindness running through his veins. He is something all should have looked up to and he will forever be missed. I send my condolences to the family and my love up to heaven to you, Mr. Igoe. God will love you as we all did. You are forever in our hearts, spirits, and missed. “
“You and your daughters are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Mr. Igoe was a special addition to the staff at Park Hall Elementary School this year. While I have not had the opportunity to know him very long, he made a lasting impression. He had a wonderful gift of humor and kindness when it was needed most. I am truly sorry for your loss. May you find the strength to get you all through this most difficult time. “
“We were so very sorry to hear of your loss. Take comfort in knowing he has touched many by being such a caring and devoted educator. Our family has alot of fond memories from his years of dedication to WMES. Our thoughs and prayers are with you. “
“There are no words which can convey the sorrow that we feel for your loss. Please know that you are not alone for Kevin touched many hearts and many lives while he was with us and we will forever keep you and the girls in our thoughts and in our prayers. His legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of his many students.”
“Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free! I follow the plan God laid for me. I saw His face, I heard His call, I took His hand and left it all… I could not stay another day, To love, to laugh, to work or play; Tasks left undone must stay that way. And if my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss… Ah yes, these things I, too, shall miss. My life’s been full, I’ve savoured much: Good times, good friends, a loved-one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief— Don’t shorten yours with undue grief. Be not burdened with tears of sorrow, Enjoy the sunshine of the morrow.”
“There are no words that can describe this terrible loss. Heartfelt prayers to Kevin’s family and friends. May the Lord watch over the Igoe Family.”
“Dear Pam, We were very sorry to learn of Kevin’s unexpected passing. He will be greatly missed. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your girls.”
“I’ve had the pleasure of starting my child in school with Mr. Igoe and was greatly comforted and reassured by him with sending my child to school for the first time. He will always be in our hearts and greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. “
“Pammy, Meagan and Courtney, The sadness in our hearts and the pain we feel for you, will never overshadow how blessed and lucky we are to have known Kevin. Dependable, reliable, devoted, caring, funny, (and lets not forget stubborn!)Kevin. He supported me and so many rookies as we learned the ins and outs of teaching, leading, and what it meant to be a good person. The sadness is heavy but the memories are comforting. We loved him and know how much he will be missed. May you take comfort in your memories and in knowing how many people he touched. We love you. “
“Dear Pam and Family, It is difficult at such a time to know what words to say. Just know that our thoughts and prayers are with you today. Kevin was a fellow teacher, principal, and most important my friend. It was my honor to have known him. May God Bless You All.”
“Dear Pam, I was so terribly saddened to hear about Kevin’s passing. He was such a light in so many lives. His wonderful humor and kindness brought so much joy to all who knew him.

“We are saddened to hear of your loss. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.”
“I am a first year teacher in the St. Mary’s School District at Park Hall although I have been teaching for 30 years in other districts. Kevin would tease me that I was the “oldest” first year teacher he ever knew. What a joy to have had him as my assistant principal for my first year in the county. He was kind, patient and most of all encouraging during stressful times on the job. He loved each and every student as his own and that is what makes the difference in a child’s educational life cycle. He adored his own family and bragged about his lovely daughters constantly. Thanks to Kevin for all the wonderful memories he leaves for our students and staff. How wonderful his daughters are carrying on his love of education. He was so proud. God bless your family and thank for sharing Kevin with us every day he was here! “
“Mr. Igoe was such a gentle person at school with our difficult Pre-K boy. He was so funny at times and longsuffering with his foot/leg pain having to be on his feet all day. I have known him only this year but so many have long term experience with this fine man. I am glad to understand he was a Christian so we can celebrate seeing him in the future in Heaven. He will certainly be missed here at Park Hall Elementary School– and throughout the community. I am so very sorry you have lost a dear husband and father. May the Lord Jesus Christ give you His peace that passes ALL our understanding.”
“I’m thinking of you and your daughters and wishing you hope in the midst of sorrow, comfort in the midst of pain. With Heartfelt Sympathy”
“Pam, There are no words to express my sorrow and sympathy. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. If there is anything I can do please don’t hesistate to contact me.”

“Pam, Meagan, and Courtney, My God bless you and hold you near. Draw upon your friends and family to provide you with strength and hope during this difficult time. We are all praying for you.”
“Pam, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. If you need anything, I’m here for you.”
“My condolences to your family. This is a shock as it is to everyone. Kevin was a well respected man and educator. His contributions to this community have been tremendous and he will be greatly missed. I met Kevin many years ago when I was doing the air conditioning work to the school> I considered him a friend for all the years after. I would see him around the area and we would joke and carry on like we were in touch with each other every day. Elliott Lawrence President Mechanicsville Optimist Club”
“Pam, Courtney, and Megan, Just wanted you all to know you’re in my thoughts and prayers.”
“Pam, Meagan & Courtney, Our hearts ache for you. We are so sorry for your loss. It’s hard to understand why people are taken from us so suddenly, but find comfort in the memories and love you shared. “
“Pam, Mecan and Courtney, I am so very sorry.Please know that I am here for you now and always. I have many precious memories of Kevin that will always bring a smile to my face and heart. “
“Igoe family, It still all seems so unreal…words can not express the loss that we feel. Kevin was a great person. I am sure he and Bo are reunited and it gives me a sense of peace ot know that they are together again. I will always cherish the memories (mac & sugar!) and I will even take credit for some of the gray hair he had, as he pointed out to me that some of them were my fault. Kevin was more than my third grade teacher, that was just the beginning of the relationship. He and his family grew to be a part of my family. Love all of you!”
“Dear Pam, Meagan, & Courtney, We were so sorry to hear of Kevin’s passing. May God bless all of you at this difficult time. “
“Pam, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God be with you in your time of need. “
“I was fortunate enough to have worked for Kevin Igoe at WMES for 9 years. I truly believe that I would not be the teacher, or person that I am today, if not for the support and understanding he showed me and anyone else who shared the hallways with him. He had an incredible knack for choosing wonderful teachers and staff. He gave so many people a chance at a job, those of whom I am so very proud to work with every day. From the moment we began our careers, you felt that he truly believed all of us could do anything we set our minds to. We were all given wings, and with those given the opportunity and freedom to be the absolute best teachers we could be. You always knew that he was behind you 110%. Even if mistakes were made, they were never looked at as failures, but lessons to create a new path to greatness. He taught us to have compassion for each other, our students, and their families, while always reminding us to put our families and lives first and foremost, as he always did. We always knew we had another “dad” looking out for us at school and a forever friend in life. I will always cherish the time I had to learn from such a wonderful leader, mentor and man. “
“Pam, Megan and Courtney: My condolences go out to you all. My two older children went to White Marsh E.S. when Kevin was principal there. We remember that he loved to joke around and always knew everyone by name. Our prayers are with you.”
“Mrs. Igoe, Meagan, Courtney and the entire Igoe family, by reading these many expressions of condolence, you surely know that Kevin was held in high esteem on a personal and professional level. My daughter, Mandy was fortunate to have him as her teacher in third grade at Park Hall – she was thrilled to have him again the next year in a 3-4 split. He was her favorite, as he remains with many of his former students. I was a substitue at the time and it came to pass that Kevin’s class was one of two that I worked in. He had the patience of Job. With a little humor and a firm hand he held his classroom, and one could see the kids just blossom. He cared so deeply for his students and encouraged them throughout. He was a hoot in the teacher’s lounge – especially during March Madness! Kevin spoke often of his “girls” and the love for his family just shown in his eyes. I pray that in the time to come the hurt you now feel will soften. Thank God that he passed our way. We will think of him often.”
“To the Igoe family. We will miss Mr.Igoe dearly. He was a great person. Our prayers and love are with you. We are terribly sorry for his passing. May God bless you. Love always.”
“Pam, Megan, Courtney, Words cannot express how we feel, we love Kevin so much. He was a truly wonderful man. Caring, considerate and loyal. A true friend. All the jokes and pranks he pulled on us through the years will forever be a reminder of him, such a spontaneously funny guy! His love for his girls so deep and his love for you, Pam so true and obvious. I loved working with him and sharing a great friendship. Phil loves him like a brother. Hold close to your heart all the wonderful memories. We love you so much! “
“Dear Pam, Meagan and Courtney, The words to express our sorrow do not come easily. There is so much we want to say, so much that we want you to know. Your family is part of our family, now and forever. Carry with you always the lifetime of memories we share together. Kevin will always be with us. In our hearts, minds, dreams and memories. He loved you all so much and was so very proud of his girls. We wish you love and peace during this very difficult time. We will always be with you. Kevin and Bo are together. Smiling, hugging and laughing with sand between their toes. May God’s grace be with you now and in the difficult days ahead. We love you. “
“Mr. Igoe will be truely missed by my family. He made such a great impact on my boys, Zachary and Trevor while at White Marsh. He will be forever in our thoughts and prayers.”
“I will miss Kevin’s smile and humor that brightened the Student Services office; although his voice is quiet, his spirit echos still; may God bless you with Peace.”
“Pam, Megan and Courtney, My heart aches for your loss. From my first day as a teacher over 15 years ago Kevin was my mentor, my colleague, and my friend. I know that I am only one of many who feel the same way when I say that I am a better teacher, professional and person having known him. I am keeping you all in my thoughts and praying that your wonderful memories and the knowledge of how much Kevin loved you brings peace and comfort at this extremely difficult time. “
“Pam, Courtney, and Meagan, It seems like just yesterday I took a class that Kevin was teaching. He tried so hard to make the unbearable more bearable. I cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. “
“We have read all these beautiful testaments of Kevin the educator, which bring tears to our eyes. But we knew the social side of Kevin and what fun we had at all the different birthday and graduation parties and those Penn State tailgates and games (Kevin not being a Penn State fan only attended the tailgates). He had us laughing all day long. Hey Pam, Megan and Courtney, how about those RV stories. We were so blessed to know him and love him. We will miss him, but hold his memory close. “
“Pam, Megan and Courtney, I am so very sorry to hear about your loss….hang on to all the memories. You are in my thoughts.”
“WE ARE SORRY FOR THE LOSS OF MY PRINCIPAL.I AM WILLIAM TANNER I AM IN THE 5TH GRADE AT PARK HALL ELEMENTARY.I REALLY ENJOYED HIM BEACAUSE HE USED TO JOKE WITH ME ALL OF THE TIME.I AM REALLY GOING TO MISS HIM.”
“DEAR PAM, MEGAN & COURTNEY,KEVIN WAS MORE THAN OUR COUSIN: HE WAS OUR BROTHER. HE LIT UP ANY ROOM HE WALKED INTO. OUR MEMORIES OF KEVIN WILL LAST FOREVER. THERE REALLY ARE NO WORDS TO EXPRESS THE TRUE MEANING OF OUR SINCERE LOVE FOR HIM. WE REACH OUT TO YOU NOW WITH PRAYER AND WARM THOUGHTS THAT THE PROMISE OF OUR LORD WILL ALLOW US TO SHARE A HAPPY AND JOYOUS ETERNITY WITH THE IGOE, PIATT & SQUIRES FAMILIES AND ALL OUR FRIENDS. WE KNOW THAT KEVIN, &UNCLE BO WILL MC THIS REUNION AND THE LAUGHTER AND HAPPINESS WILL RING THROUGHOUT THE HEAVENS FOR ALL ETERNITY”
“Courtney I was shocked when I found out. I can still hear him now cheering us on at our field hockey games. I just wanted to let you know that you and your family are in my prayers and that I am here for if you need anything. I always have been and I always will be. “
“Pam… We’ve been thinking of you and your family a lot this week… in our thoughts and in our hearts we send our sympathy. May you find peace and strength. “
“I knew shortly after taking the position at White Marsh that I would have pretty big shoes to fill. The powerful network of parents, staff and friendships established throughout the community were created under Mr. Igoe’s leadership. I am merely reaping the benefits. I did not work with Mr. Igoe on a daily basis but I walk in his foot steps everyday. With the kind words of love, respect and support shown during this difficult time, in his shadow as a principal is not a bad place to be. Mr. Igoe has touched so many lives through his leadership here at White Marsh. I just hope that one day I can say the same. Kevin’s spirit will forever be in the hearts and on the minds of everyone that walks through the doors of White Marsh Elementary. His legacy as a devoted father, husband and educator will live on through those that loved him best. May God Comfort throughout your days and night. Know that HE is with you always. With deepest sympathy, Luchrisha S. Flowers “
“Pam, my you find strength in God during this trying time. My thoughts and prayers are with you and family. Howard & Donna Douglas”

“”Pam and family, Henry and I are saddened of the passing of Kevin. Our prayers are with you and your family. Janet and Henry Sanders of NC “

“To The Igoe Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Igoe was principal at White Marsh while my Megan was in the community base program and he cared very deeply for special education and it showed, he would constantly come in on parent teacher meetings to make sure my child needs were met. May god bless your family.”
“To the Igoe Family, Kevin was my 4th grade teacher at Park Hall the very first year he came to St. Mary’s County. He was so energetic, caring, and supportive that he made the awkward years of grade school so much better. He brought a breath of fresh air to our school and our community. My mother and grandmother were both teachers, so when he won their praise, you knew you had a special person. When he returned to Park Hall as an Asst. Principal under Principal Flo Chakles – I was delighted to know he would be there again for my step-daughter to learn from. Although we just missed having him this year back to Park Hall, my personal memories of Kevin run deep and will be ones I treasure for a lifetime. He was a remarkable person and one that our children will always be better for knowing. May his family know that he will always be remembered and treasured. You have my deepest sympathies and and prayers for your loss. Andrea Dyson”
“I was so sorry to hear of your loss. You and Mr. Igoe have always been so kind. He was a wonderful person. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Pam. “
“Our hearts go out to you and your family at this difficult time. Kevin Igoe was a wonderful man who touched our lives during his time as principal of WMES. He was a great role model for our children and kept them striving to be better. Please know that you and your daughters are in our prayers. “
“Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. He will be greatly missed. Love and Many Blessings to all of you.”
“I am greatly disheartened to hear of Mr. Igoes passing as I enjoyed the person I came to know in him, during the time i got to work with him three year’s ago my Deepest condolences to the family. “
“My condolences and prayers go out to the Igoe Family. I had the privilege of having Kevin as my teacher and as my Assistant Principal both at Park Hall. He helped me become a better student and helped guide me as a first year teacher. He will be greatly missed.”
“Pam, Meagan and Courtney: I was shocked and saddened to hear about Kevin. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Kevin touched so many lives in wonderful ways. God Bless you.”
“To the Igoe Family, we are so sorry to hear of your loss. I was able to have Kevin as a teacher when I was in 3rd & 4th grade, now my son was able to have him as a wonderful Asst.Principal at Park Hall. He will be missed by all. God Bless your family, our thoughts and prayers are with you all.”
“Dear Igoe Family, We are so sorry to hear about Mr. Igoe. Our son attended WMES in the Community Based Program and I can remember being so fearful because our son was making the transition from another school. Immediately upon meeting Kevin Igoe our fears and concerns were put to rest. Our son continued to do well and make remarkable strides at WMES. Mr. Igoe was a hands on principal who knew and cared about each child. I will never forget the impact he had on everyone from the parents, students and staff at WMES. He will me missed by everyone in the community.”
“In 2001, I became part of the WMES family, and right from the start it felt like a family with the most wonderful “dad” I could have imagined. Kevin Igoe gave me my shot at my dream, but he didn’t stop there because his support and guidance was always there to ensure that I succeeded. I was inspired long ago to go into teaching, but Kevin has been my inspiration to stay. I will always remember how caring he was during the time of my mother’s death and all of the time he spent making sure I was ok. He was always able to make me laugh, usually just with that grin that seemed to always be there and his stories were the best. I feel like he looked out for me and I will hold those wonderful memories in my heart always. Kevin, I became who I am today because I knew you and you’ll always be with me “like a handprint on my heart”.”
“Dear Igoe family, Kevin was truly an exceptional teacher who taught both of our boys, Chad and Michael, at Park Hall. Kevin obviously cared enough to keep an eye on Michael during a troubling time after the loss of his brother. Kevin’s presence and caring for our son made a lasting impression, significantly contributing to Michael’s decision to become a teacher. When Michael left his academic world and was making his first attempts to enter the working/teaching world, luckily he again came across an old mentor and friend. Kevin ushered him into the pricipal’s office and we feel that this introduction and acknowledgment of a young man’s potential, figured prominently in Michael being hired at his alma mater, Park Hall. In the short time that Michael was able to work with Kevin, Michael would always remark of the continuing friendship and guidance he received. We have no doubt as Michael continues his career in education, he will reflect, remember and further the interpersonal and educating style and compassion of Kevin. He will be missed. “
“Dear Megan and family, Words may not mean so much at this time, but just know that you have so many people to call on for support. I am so proud of you, and your father will continue be there for you. Just talk to him, then listen, and he will help guide you always. God must have really needed an extra special angel. I am thinking of you,and praying for you. I know you will take good care of each other.”
“From our family to yours, We are so sorry for your loss. We had the honor to have Kevin in our childrens lives in White Marsh Elementary school and he was a great man that cared so much for all the children, he will be missed. The Wilson family”
“”Igoe Family, I’m so sorry to hear of Kevin’s passing. I use to work at DJ’s and remember him coming in and he always knew how to bring a smile to my face when I was having a rough night. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers for all of you during this difficult time””
“My family and I, are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Kevin C. Igoe. Although he only met most in passing, he always remembered your name, your childs name, and greeted you with the brightest smile possible. He was truely a gifted, and devoted educator, and St Marys County will surely suffer from the loss of this outstanding, and respected man. He will be forever carried in our hearts. The McAuley Family ( White Marsh Elem Alumni) “
“God took an angel back to Heaven with him and I miss him very much. “
“To the Igoe Family. I am a first year teacher at Park Hall Elementary. The faith that Kevin showed in us new teachers was unfailing. He always seemed to show up in my room right when I needed back-up the most. His sense of humor could always lighten up a mood, and his love for the children is what I will truly remember most about him. He will be dearly missed.”
“I am very sorry to hear of Kevin’s loss. I know he touched many hearts and will always be remembered. Melinda and I are here for anything you need. “
“Dear Igoe family, Kevin will be greatly missed at Park Hall. He was teaching here when I first started teaching at Park Hall. You could always count on a good laugh at lunch time if Kevin was in the lounge. This year he has been very supportive any time I had a problem with a student. He is a very caring person.”
“To the Igoe Family – I am so sorry to hear of the sudden loss of Mr.Igoe. He was a wonderful and funny man. He welcomed our family into WMES and from the first day remembered my name and my those of my children. You could tell he had a genuine concern for everyone that he met. It really showed through him. He will be missed by our family.”
“Pam, Courtney, Megan and family, Clearly you are surrounded by love in your sorrow. May you come to feel peace as words celebrating Kevin’s life continue to build. What a difference he made in my teaching days! Your photo shows that same sparkle in his eye that he brought to the schoolhouse. FUNNY, warm, welcoming, supporting and sharing, he could brighten any day. I smile, remembering the two of us co-teaching math every Friday afternoon, making our way around groups of eager learners building strong problem solving skills. Hard work, yes, but in our teaming there was always joy! I bow my head in prayer, thanking God for his life, and asking that you feel blessed to have called him your own. “
“Pam, Megan and Courtney, You are family to us. Our lives have been intertwined since 1974. We learned and played together at King’s. We came to St. Mary’s County together. We have been together for all the good times, the difficult times and the funny times. Kevin and I became administrators the same July and helped each other through that first year. He always helped me keep a school-based perspective and we became closer as we grew into our roles together. But the best part was the fun times – happy hours on Solomon’s, PSU tailgates, sharing Megan & Courtney’s accomplishments. We love Kevin and we love all of you. We will be with you through this time and into the future. Kevin is in God’s hands now, with Bo, who he missed so much and teasing Gert as she gives him his daily work assignments. Here’s to my fellow Irishman, a highly respected teacher, PPW and administrator but most of all we raise a glass to our friend and family member, Kevin C. Igoe.”
“Kevin was the Assistant Principal at Hollywood when I taught there. His dedication to students and staff was such a blessing to us all. We will truly miss him. My prayers are with your family. May God bless you and give you comfort.”
“Dearest Kathleen, Jeane and I were saddened to hear of Kevin’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I know your faith and spirit will carry you thru them.”
“Our family is deeply saddened to hear of the loss of Kevin Igoe. Moving to St Mary’s County and having children adjusting to changes of a new school were hard, however we were extremely lucky to have been blessed with Mr. Igoe as the principal at WMES during their transition. The extra care he took in welcoming us to the WMES family and his constant dedication to the children and the school will always be remembered and cherished. He is definitely a special person to have dedicated so many years to education within the St. Mary’s Public School System. He will always be thought of “that extra special person” that always went that extra mile. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this hard time.”
“Mr. Igoe did many great things in his life, one was raising two beautiful daughters. Courtney and Meagan my prayers go out to you, and your mother. Please know that so many people are thinking of you and your loving father. “
“Dear Igoe Family, You are in my family’s thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Mr. Igoe was a dedicated educator and I was one of many lucky students to have him as my third-grade teacher. He will be remembered fondly by many, young and old.”
“Dear Igoe family,words cannot explain how sorry I am for your loss.Kevin was my best friend when we grew up together on juniper street,not a day went by that we were not together and I will miss him dearly.”
“Pam, Megan, and Courtney ~ I cannot even begin to tell you how much Kevin will be missed. He was an amazing AP and he will be truely missed. I remember at the beginning of the school year I was trying to get everything ready for school to start. I was pulled for a meeting and when I came back to my room Kevin was putting together my mailbox for me. Megan & Courtney – please know that your dad talked about you two all the time and lite up when he was going to see you girls. “
“Dear Pam, Courtney, and Megan, We are deeply sorry for your loss. Kevin was our daughters’ first public school principal, and we couldn’t have dreamed of a better person to positively impact our children’s lives. He truly treated every child as if they were his own, never raising his voice, always with a twinkle in his eye and a playful grin. We never worried about our daughters at WMES, because to them, they were with their “school dad.” Mary was always trying to be taller than him, and Christie shared fun stories with us about how “Mr. Igoe” made her smile or laugh. Our respect, love and admiration for Kevin is endless; I learned so much from him as a leader and wanted so much to be like him one day. He was an incredible, personable leader, mentor and friend to us all. Mr. Igoe IS White Marsh to us all, and he will forever be remembered for his gentle kindness and nurturing patience with teachers, students and families. We miss him terribly and pray for your comfort in your loss.”
“Kathy, I am so sorry for your family. We just heard the news today and while our family is in a mournful state as well, we want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. We wish we could be there and wish you and all Kevin’s loved ones to have God’s blessing. Ita Cinquemani and family”
“Dear Igoe family, our most earnest prayers our yours this day. It was with great pleasure that we got to meet and know Kevin. Thank you for sharing him with us for a little while. “
“I was deeply saddened to hear of Kevin’s passing. Although I was just a child, I remember him fondly growing up on Juniper Street. He was a good friend to my big brother Kevin and will always be in our hearts. We will pray that peace comes to you. Kelly (Cinquemani) Lang”
“Dear Igoe famly, My family and I are your neighbors and we recently lost our grandson Steven. He attended the community based program at WMES. We were visiting his class one day, when Mr. Igoe shared with us that if he was having a bad day, just one smile from Steven would make it alright. If we were walking through the neighborhood with Steven, he never missed the opportunity to say hello and ask how Steven was doing. At a time lke this, there is a sorrow for which no heart can be prepared. May God bless and comfort you as you mourn the loss of such a kind and gentle man.”
“Im very sorry about the loss of your husband. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. “
“Our deepest sympathy for your sudden loss of a wonderful man. We’ll be eternally grateful for Mr. Igoe’s care and assistance to our daughter during her first few years of teaching at WMES. He treated our daughter and other staff members as if they were his own daughters, and they sincerely adored him. The emptiness of his loss will never be fully filled. What a wonderful man with an infectous sense of humor! It is our pleasure to have known him. The Morgan Family “
“Pam, Megan, and Courtney, Words can never express how deeply sorry I am for your loss. Kevin was an excellent principal who had a remarkable impact on his teachers, parents, and students. I will miss seeing him at “happy hour” and will miss his great sense of humor. He was an incredibly proud man who raised a wonderful family. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.”
“Although we only knew Mr. Igoe for a short time, he made a huge impression. As my sons principal at White Marsh, he made us all feel that we were important and that you truly cared not only for our sons education but for David himself. You will be greatly missed and the hearts that you touched will never forget you. May god bless all of the family at this most difficult time.”
“I am so deeply saddened to learn of Kevin’s passing. Kevin was a very special person…gentle, kind, funny, supportive, and a wonderful human being. I had the pleasure and privilege of working with Kevin many years ago at Park Hall school and hold many fond memories of him. He will be greatly missed. Pam, Meagan,& Courtney, my deepest sympathy to all of you at this very difficult time. My prayers are with you all….God bless. “
“Sorry about the loss of Mr.Igoe. I know how people felt sad about this.I also know how people admired him. I admired him for all the hard work he has done for WMES.When Mr.Igoe was at WMES he cared greatly for each and every student.I send lots of prayers to his family beacause of the loss of this great man.”
“To the Igoe Family: I am so very sorry for your loss. Kevin was my brother Kevin’s best friend growing up. I remember fun times playing hide and seek and other games with Kevin and all the other kids on the block on Juniper Street. He was a good person with a great sense of humor and won’t be forgotten. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time. “
“Mrs. Igoe, I knew Mr. Igoe was a fantastic principal from my first day at WMES. More than that, he was someone for all of his students (and, judging by all of the other comments, his employees) to look up to. He is already missed greatly.”
“Dear Mrs. Igoe and family, I was so sad this week when my mom informed me of Mr. Igoe’s death. Although he was my principal at White Marsh for only a year, I still remember how welcome he made me and my brother Brendan feel when we switched from Lettie Dent to WMES. We knew your family from Dent, of course, but I know that he was not so kind and welcoming because of his familiarity with the Rundes – it was just how he was. Every time I saw him in the hall at White Marsh and for years after, he would at the very least smile and wave, and probably also ask me how I was doing. This kind of caring is easy to do, but not many people do it as regularly or as genuinely as Mr. Igoe did. He will be missed by all who knew him for these and other reasons, and missed by those who did not because they never had the pleasure of meeting him. My sincerest condolences.”
“Pam,Megan,& Courney, There are no words to express how sorry I am for your loss. When I think of Kevin I immediatley think of all the great times we had at White Marsh. I was lucky to have had the opprotunity to know him. He was not only a great educator, a great leader, a fantastic mentor, but most importantly a great friend. I would not be the person/educator that I am today without him. Kevin was like a father to me and was always there when I needed him. He had this incredible ability to make me feel better under any circumstance. I am heart broken that my daughter will never have the opprotunity to meet him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.”
“To the Igoe family, I am sorry for your loss. He was my 4th grade teacher at Piney Point elementary school. I will always remember his smile. I know my dad Mr. Jordan is going to miss their conversations at park hall.”
“Megan, “Little Igoe” and family – I was so saddened to hear of the sudden loss of your father. Words cannot express the depth of sorrow we all feel for you and your family at this time. Please know that I am thinking of you at this difficult time and extending deep and heartfelt sympathy. “
“Mr. Igoe will be greatly missed. He has provided wonderful memories for my children and I. He was a wonderful principal at White Marsh Elementary School and a very caring human being. He always put a smile on our faces and was very kind. Our sincere condolences to his family and friends…”
“Dear Kathy, Pam, Megan and Courtney, it does not seem possible that the Lord would take Kevin so early but he has accomplished so much during that brief period. Those of us who knew and loved Kevin know that he has graduated to a higher level of reward. We can easily picture Kevin and Bo looking down and laughing about all the the things that go on with the Igoe family. We will always remember Kevin with pride. Our prayers with all during this difficult period.”
“Please accept the condolences of the Thorne family. Mr. Igoe touched a special place within our hearts while our boys were at WMES during the time he was their principal. He was a great person to be our children’s elementary principal because he showed the kids by example how to be respectful of each other and strive to do your best. He truly cared for all the students of WMES along with their families. His kindness was very evident to our family when he took the time from his busy schedule to pay a memorial visit when we lost Paul’s dad suddenly in 2005. Although nothing can take your pain away, you can always know that within each life he touched his memory will live forever.”
“Pam(I go u go), I am so sorry about the loss of Kevin. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. If I can do anything to help out please let me know. “

“Dear Pam, Meagan, and Courtney, I am so sorry about your loss. Kevin was a great person to have around. I am a teacher at Park Hall. He will be truely missed around the halls here at Park Hall. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.”
“Dear Pam, You and your girls have been in my thoughts since I learned of your overwhelming loss. I pray you find comfort in all the funny, kind and insightful stories about Kevin from your friends and family. I know you two have had a rich and wonderful life together. Please accept my deepest regrets and know you will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.”
“Dear Pam and family, When my family moved to St. Mary’s County in 1996 our daughter had to adjust to a new school, a task made harder because of her significant learning disabilities. Mr. Igoe made her feel welcome in his math class, encouraged her to do her best, supported her – and all his students – as individual learners by teaching with humor, scaffolding, analogies, visuals, manipulatives; he made learning fun because he himself enjoyed learning with and from his students. As a teacher educator, I couldn’t have been more impressed with Mr. Igoe – and while it can’t be easy to cope with the loss of his physical presence in this life, I hope it’s of some comfort to know how much he touched the lives of so many students and teachers, giving of himself while nurturing them intellectually and emotionally. Lois Stover”
“Pam, Meagan and Courtney I just want you to know how special Kevin was in my life. He was always so friendly and caring. He teased me and forced me to look inside myself to become the best person I can. Kevin was a great husband and dad. He loved you all so much. He was a big inspiration to me in so many ways. If I can help in any way please let me know. Love in Christ, Mike Leo Lisa, Chad and Cooper The Leo’s”
“To the Igoe family, I am sorry for your loss. Mr. Igoe was my 3rd grade teacher, 22 years ago. He was a wonderful teacher and person. Please know that he will be remembered for a long time to come by many. May God bless you as you and your family grieve his loss. Sincerely a thankful student.”
“”Our thoughts and prayers are with the Igoe family. My son Travis went to WMES and had Mr. Igoe as his principal, he was a kind and thoughtful person and highly respected. We are so sorry to hear of the loss of such a wonderful man.””
“Megan I am so very sorry to hear about your loss, I never had the opportunity to meet your dad but reading some of the memories frinds shared he sounds like an amazing person. Please accept my apology and bless you and your family in your time of need. “
“DEAR MEGAN, I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR DADS PASSING. EVEN THOUGH YOU DO NOT REMEMBER ME I HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN YOU. I TOOK CARE OF YOU WHILE YOUR MOM AND DAD WENT TO WORK. YOU CAME TO MY HOUSE WHEN YOU WERE ABOUT 6 WEEKS OLD. I REMEMBER YOUR FIRST DAY WHEN YOUR DAD CAME TO DROP YOU OFF BEFORE HE WENT TO WORK AT PINEY POINT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.HE WAS SO PROTECTIVE OF HIS BABY GIRL, HE REALLY DIDN’T WANT TO LEAVE YOU. I REASSUREED HIM THAT YOU WOULD BE OK. HE WAS SO EXCITED WHEN HE CAME TO PICK YOU UP EACH DAY. HE WOULD GIVE YOU A GREAT BIG HUG AND TELL YOU HOW MUCH HE MISSED YOU AND LOVED YOU! I AM SURE THAT YOU HAVE GROWN UP TO BE A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN AND I AM SURE YOUR DAD WAS VERY PROUD OF YOU. REMEMBER HE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU BUT JUST IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

My name is Mariah and I hope you know he was like a friend and a principal to me and I miss him, stay safe. And can you come to the school one day and talk to me so I can get it off my mind? “
“Mr. Igoe was my 3rd grade teacher and was my favorite teacher. The news of his passing hurts me deeply. I am 29 years old and will never forget him. There was something special about him which everyone around could recognize. I am sure he has had an impact on many lives. My prayers go to the family.”
“Dear Pam, I was stunned to see the notice in our King’s magazine that Kevin had passed away. I’m so very sorry for you and your family. I remember him well from out days at King’s…I was never sure that you married but knew that you were soul mates. May God bless you and your family. Nancy Schmit Farkas “
“I cannot say how sorry I am to hear of Mr.Igoe’s passing. He was my third and fourth grade teacher at Piney Point Elementary. He was a great inspiration to all of his students. Always fair, always firm, but always approachable. Throughout my entire life, he has always been one of the single-most inspirational people to have ever touched my life. I feel deeply for those he has left behind. “
