Keith was my big brother and I loved him dearly. He suffered for many years with his illness but was always there for others. His life was full of many accomplishments and many dear friends. He was the most charismatic man I have ever known, and no one will miss him more.

Dorothy, so sorry to read about Keith. I remember the times we all got together when Mom (Anna Mae Iliff) was alive. He is at peace and Mom is probably bugging him. Take care Dorothy.

The "Captain" is gone, but not soon forgotten. I met Keith on Fremont Street while I was a mail carrier. He was one of the most genuine people I have ever known in my life. He became a very dear friend and brings back many dear memories of painting and music, gardening, and countless stories. My family all came to know and love him,also.
He touched many lives, and will be missed and thought of often, and many wistful smiles will appear while remembering. Our thoughts are with Dorothy...
