Susan and I would like to offer our deepest sympathy to the McIntyre and Hester family. We had the pleasure of meeting Keith on numerous occasions. I always enjoyed my conversations with Keith about our mutual Navy experiences. Rest in Peace my friend. You were proud to be a Navy veteran and you served your country with honor and respect. God Bless you Keith.
