Keith Anden Achepohl

I graduated with Keith from York High School in Elmhurst, IL in 1952. I have posted a photo of Keith's entry in the York H.S.'s Y's Tale's Yearbook for 1952 --- which in large part was really totally produced by Keith --- relating to his early interest in art --- at that time. May Keith's soul RIP --- now and forevermore. ... submitted by Bruce Downey --- also of York H.S. Class of 1952. --- now living in Myrtle Beach, SC *********

As I am going to the Met Opera HD broadcast and can't help but think of Keith and Jeffrey. Thanks for the memory.

I just found out when his Christmas card was returned. He was a wonderful person and I have known him since 1984 when we were Fulbright exchange scholars in Turkey. Wonderful travels in Turkey over many decades together. We will travel again in the future and I miss you very much. Very sad news for the first of the new year! Our traveled in eastern Turkey were magical and you will always be remembered. I learned very much from you over the years.

Oh Keith - you will be much missed. You were so unbelievably influential in my life. Lavish dinners at you magical place in Iowa City, visits to our farm in NE Iowa, sharing a passion for African pots, traveling together in Italy and so much more. How fortunate I was to know you. Much love. Doug D.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Everyone had lost someone that they care for deeply. Do you think there will ever be a time when we won't experience the pain and sorrow of such a tragedy? God promises that soon, that will be a reality! -1 Corinthians 15:26

I only knew Keith for a few years, but he filled the time we shared with warmth, laughter, conversation, insight, stories, Prosecco, The New York Times, Art, Movies, meals and snacks. I will remember him always as a gracious and generous man, and a peach of a person. Consider yourself blessed if you met him because he touched lives significantly.
