The Wildermuth Family, To know Keith was to love Keith. I am proud to have been family to him, because he loved family. When he came home to visit he always wanted to see and be with all the family, and we always had the best time. He had a smile that would light up a room. I will miss those visits and the memories we had. I will also miss that sweet smile from that very sweet man. To Josh, you are just like your dad a sweet, kind, and loving person. May God Bless You All.
