My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Grandpa Pearson was very special to me, so special that I always addressed him as Grandpa Pearson, even though he was my most favorite brother-in-law's father (Keith) Love You Keith!
I will always remember the times we were together.

Keith was a very special person to our family and he will be missed dearly. He was a long time friend to me and my parents. We shared many happy moments together; flying, digging clams, camping, traveling and sharing a "scoot"' It is with sadness that I write this and I wish to extend my condolences to his family.
