Keith was one of the finest human beings I have evr known. As I was teaching Theory/Composition at The Hartt School, he came for composition lessons, bringing some music written by his mother. After helping him transcribe his own music, I suggested he move on to further study at The University of Connecticut, which he did with aplomb.
Keith was the long-standing and exceedingly able Treasurer of Connecticut Composers, Inc. (CCI).
Gerhard and I intend to make a contribution to CCI in his name.

My condolences to Keith's family and friends. I met Keith and Alexis in 1978 at the Wednesday morning Eucharist with the Brotherhood of St. Andrew. I was very moved that he attended my father's funeral15 years ago.

Such a fine gentleman! He touched the souls of many.
