Keith's passing leaves an empty space in my life and heart. Throughout my college years my first phone call to announce good grades was always to him. When I taught, it was always to him that I went to for advice. He was a wise mentor and a wonderful listener. He had a laugh that could light up the room and my heart.
Thank you Keith, I'll miss you.

I joined WAGM radio as a full time announcer in 1975 and one of first people I met was Keith Fowles. He made me feel welcome and I enjoyed my time at the station. My condolences to you Shirley and your family on your loss.

I am sorry to hear of Keith's passing. Shirley, Andrea, Kevin, Allison and Kim, I send you all hugs and prayers in this time of sorrow. I knew Keith for over 40 years, but my fondest memories are of playing scrabble with him (and Shirley) in Orlando only a few years back. RIP Keith!

We kids lost our dad and our mom lost her husband, best friend and confidante of 60 years. We were very fortunate that not only were our parents married for that length of time but that they loved each other completely.
We love you always and forever...
Shirley, Andrea, Kim, Kevin and Allison
