Not sure what to say?

Horton Family - I extend my sincere condolences to you'll. Keith was just "Keith" vibrant, humorous and handsome. My heart aches, this is painful indeed. Keith would beat me down on the pool table and laugh while running the 8 ball with one hand on the pool stick from behind his back. He commanded respect on every local pool hall. He put my first #10 pool stick in my hand taught me to shoot pool. I enjoyed his company and lightheartedness. Rest in peace, Keith!
