Keith and I went to school together and
we both played in different bands over
the years. As things go, we lost contact for many years and luckily
ran into an old bandmate, Johnny
Boehm who brought us back together
again. The jammin' started, just like
old times. Everytime we got together,
the music got better. We had our final
Jam together 2 weeks ago with Keith.
It was the best Jam, yet. There were
alot of good friends, alot of good
food, and of course a couple of beers.
So glad we had this time together with
Keith, to reconnect. You will be sorely
missed at the Jams, but will be in our
hearts, forever. Rock on, my friend!!
Love, John & Sue

Keith helped me in the time of need. He rented me an apartment,after I got Devorced. I didn't mind the band practicing
when I lived there at all. No doubt that God put me there. Now it's you and your Moms turn to Devorce this life. Take your mom by the hand and go to him (Jesus).
Jessi, Sheila and Kenny, I'm praying that GOD will keep you strong, during this difficult time. I am the light and the resurection of life.
