Keith was a good friend of mine at Vanderbilt. I was shocked to hear of his passing. We shared Christmas cards each year but I had not talked with him in the last several years. Rest in peace my friend.

Keith was a friend and fraternity brother at Vanderbilt. He and his family were kind enough to host me when I first moved to Texas in 1978 . He was a good friend and will be missed . My deepest sympathy.

My heart broke last night when I read of Keith's passing in the Vanderbilt Magazine. He was compassionate, loving and a true friend. It saddens me that we lost touch over the years... He will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

Too soon Keith....way too soon! Thank you for being such a loyal and considerate friend to our family throughout your life....even making special visits to our dad while he was in a nursing home. We will always remember your dry wit and good heart and we will miss you!
