"Grieve not, nor speak of him with tears, but talk of him as if he were beside you. We loved him so- 'twas heaven here with him."

I am positive there is many who could talk for hours about this man. How the sweet smell of smoking tobacco will forever trigger his memory. The stories he told, and the most amazing things that he knew. It is apparent how remarkable he was. I remember, as hard as I tried to be the teen locked in my room, when Keith came to the door I found any excuse to come out. I can't recall a time where I saw him without his smile. His "Valentine" is what he called me and forever he will be mine.

"And when that day arrives that we no longer are apart, we'll smile and hold you close to us...forever in our heart."

We only met Keith a couple times when visiting Uncle Nunzio & Aunt Sara. But the great friendship between Keith and Nunzio was very evident. Keith was great fun to be around and we are thankful that we had the opportunity to meet him knowing the special place he hold in the hearts of Nunzio and his family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you in this time of sorrow.

I could talk to him for hours. He always told the most amazing stories and I will always remember the sweet smell of his fresh pipe tobacco. RIP Keith I will miss you dearly.

I used come to visit my sister Sara and brother-in-law Nunzio about once a year and remember Keith to be there to greet me. He make me feel part of his family. And I always felt he was part of my family. He was kind, genuine, fun and happy go lucky. We used to all go play pool or just hang out, out back and socialize.
I will miss him and his great smelling pipe. And true to his memory , he gave great bear hugs.

He was one of the greatest people I ever knew. My father always called him his "buddy" but he was more like a brother to him. He was family to me and I will miss talking to him.
