Kevork will leave a personal legacy marked by numerous accomplishments. In the 1980s. he partnered with the city of Newark to rejuvenate the areas impacted by the riots some thirteen years before. In 1996. the New Jersey Institute of Technology awarded him a Presidents Medal for "Distinguished Achievement to an Outstanding Entrepreneur." Not three years later. his carer ethic earned him a place among other greats like Thomas Edison and George Gallup on the list of "Twenty Five Top New Jersey Business Leaders of the Century." The achievements he has eamed since his immigration to the United States have not made him forget his roots. Kevork has loyally contributed to the Armenian people in times of celebration and need. The Diocese of the Armenia Church and the New Jersey Council of Christians and Jews both named him Man of the Year in recognition of his aid to earthquake victims in Armenia.
