I, along with my family are so sorry to hear that my long time friend Keith has passed . We spent many a season on the sidelines watching our daughters playing soccer together . Driving along Mountain Ave will never be the same without seeing Keith out on his porch, or the years he was spent keeping Park Ave under control for the children of our town. I will miss my friend.
