John Keith Bemis

Christine I hope you will email me at [email protected]. I met your brother at the Post Office 3 years ago. We became friends instantly. We exchanged numbers and stayed in contact until the last year or so. I remember that Keith would always be so happy when he received packages from home. Several times I would make him a very large pan of sausage, peppers and onions along with garlic bread. He was a good cook and as everyone knew he loved to eat. Please email me when you can.

ALCON, I can't say how much I appreciate the supportive words in my family's time of need. I am Christine ''Christy'' Bemis, and he was the reason why my younger sister Mary Frances ''Fran'' joined the Navy. Keith was a wonderful brother. If any of you guys ever need anything, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Fair winds and following seas shipmate. Thank you for everything Keith, you taught me a lot and helped me to be a better person and a better sailor. You will be missed pal!

To the family of Keith, know that his Navy family loved him very much and he will be sorely missed. Keith and I were stationed at LCS Classron when I was there 2008-2010. He was a great friend and shipmate. May God bless you and keep you through this very difficult time, my prayers are with you all and I will pray the Rosary for Keith.

Shipmate, it was an honor to serve with you. I will miss you!

Keith - you will be missed. I am without words to express how much your family, friends and fellow shipmates will miss you. You were always the "go to guy" on mission day. Farewell, my fellow Chief.
