Remembering Keith fondly. He greatly impacted our live ... all while starting out being our real estate lawyer. Continuing on as our friend, advocate, uplifter ... and lawyer. We miss him so much!

We are completely devastated over the news of Keith's passing. I am so very sorry. My wife and I are so very glad to have him in our lives.

Keith was such an amazing man and made a huge impact on our lives. He was kind, caring and always took the best care of us. Keith supported us in every aspect over the last 16+ years. From real estate to power of attorney, from not being legal to legally married and so much more. The more includes celebrating our success with us, celebrating...

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Keith's passing. I had the fortune of being friends with Keith from grammar School ( Cleveland ), junior high school ( Oakview ) through Niles East High School. I fondly remember quite well in the late 1960's periodically spending time at Keith's parents home on Bobolink Ave in Skokie IL. One memorable experiences stands out; we were in the basement of his parents home listening to Rolling Stones records when we both listened to the song Angie for the...

I am heartbroken to learn of Keith’s death. I met him more than 25 years ago, when he helped me set up a trust. About 15 years ago, he guided me through the sale of my house and the purchase of a condo. Periodically, like today, I’d have a question about something and would shoot him an email. His answers were always thoughtful, complete, and funny. He was a mensch.

I trusted his council. I was deeply grateful for his tact, perceptiveness, generosity, true kindness, and wonderful...

I remember Keith from Meadowbrook days, as our daughters were in class together. What a good guy; warm, engaging, and friendly. I feel for his family.

I am terribly saddened to hear this news. Keith was literally my first friend. He lived on Bobolink, and I lived right around the corner on Keeler Ave. He was an enthusiastic and energetic boy, and while we did not remain close friends after I moved away, I did still know him to be a productive and caring man. May his memory always be a blessing

we will always remember what a kind and generous friend and neighbor Keith was! It was an honor and pleasure to live across the street from the Baker family. Keith will be held in our hearts and our memories. Our condolences go out to his family

I met Keith when my father passed away about 7 years ago. He became the lawyer who helped us through that difficult time. During our talks, we found out that I went to school with Hollis! Small world. Keith was a wonderful, sweet, kind & lovely man. He will be sorely missed

I knew and remember Keith well from the swim team at Niles east in the early 1970's. I crossed paths with him only one or two times since. Most recently about 6 mos ago where he gave me some valuable legal advice. I remember him as a kind generous and considerate young man, He clearly fulfilled his destiny in all he gave to others. My sincerest condolences to his family.
