Dear Marion and the entire family ...may your time both present and future heal with the comfort that Keith is at peace and comfort. For the short amount of time I was blessed to serve your family in his care...he was a wonderful human being to have added to my life journey. May there be enough butter pecan ice cream in the heavens above to honor his arrival.

My deepest sympathies to the family. There are many years of memories between our families (over 50 years).

After mom died in 1998, Keith went out of his way to check on dad and try to cheer him up. One of my favorite memories was the 1999 New Year's Eve party in the "neighborhood". Dad was invited, but didn't want to go. Keith convinced him that he should attend with his daughter as his date. Date, designated driver...it was a wonderful night and I'm so glad I was able to be a part of it!

He was a wonderful friend to our family over the years. He will certainly be missed.
