Mr. Keys was a kind, honorable man, and a caring father. The fact that his daughter, Kathy is one of the nicest, most intelligent, creative, and together people I have ever met is a testament to what a great dad he was. I will miss seeing him. Wishing you peace in the knowledge that his was a life well lived.

Kathy,the slide show is simply incredible -- a beautiful memorial to a life that was obviously very fully lived. While I never (regrettably) had the chance to raise a Guinness with your Dad, I will definitely be toasting his memory. Thank you for sharing this with us. You were certainly, and deservedly, the apple of your father's eye, and it is very moving to see the pictorial proof of his devotion to and adoration of your entire family. My deepest sympathies to you, your Mom, and the rest of your family during what I know is a terribly difficult time. You and your Dad remain in my thoughts and prayers.

I have not seen Ellsworth for many years but I use to know him well during my days in the D.C. area. We shared the love of circus and my heart goes out to Beryl and the family.

Kathy, your dad was so kind and jolly. I loved going to your house because both your parents were so lovely. Your dad will always be with you and make his presence known when you least expect it. Hugs and love to you and your mom.
