Kevin Long

“Since I knew this was coming, I’m writing this myself.  I passed away from ALS.  While the last year and a half has been difficult, I had a great life! The greatest joy was helping raise my three children - Mack, Madeline and Charlotte.  I’m so proud of them!  I’m also real proud of Piedmont Disposal and Recycling, a company that I developed and ran for the last 20 years. My Dad, Jerry Long, passed away already.  Thanks for everything Dad.  Surviving me are my three children, Mack, Madeline and Charlotte Long and my Mom, Marieanne Long.  Thanks for everything Mom. Also surviving me are my two brothers, Mike Long and Ken Long (Rita), my former wife, Jennie Hess and her husband, Terry.  I want to give a special thanks to Harold Kinder, Jimmy “Hawk” Contreris and William Spencer.  They all helped shape my life in important ways.  Also, very special thanks to those who provided care and comfort for me in the recent past.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!  Bye for now.  Kevin”
