Kathy and family, I was sorry to hear of your loss. Though I have not seen or spoken with Keith in more than 20 years, I have continued to think of him over that time.

I was a member of Keith's Boy Scout troop for several years in the 1980's, and always thought very highly of him. He was very giving of his time and support to all of us that were in the troop.

Personally, he went out of his way to make sure that both my brother and I were able to make it to the meetings; often times driving across town to pick us up and to bring us back home after the meetings. Camping at Rokolio is still one of my favorite memories from that time of my life.

Keith will be missed by all those whom he came in contact with.

Dear Kathy and Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know we just met a while ago, but I liked you both right away. It was a joy working with you at RCS. If you ever need a shoulder I am here for you !!! God bless you and may Keith rest in peace.

February 26, 2012

Our thoughts and prayers are with Kathy, Scott and Lori and the grandkids, as well as Dick and Lee and the nieces and their families. The best thing about scouting is it puts people in your life who become great lifelong friends. We will miss Keith. May the great master of all scouts be with him until we meet again. Mike Ford
