Read MoreWe were very sorry to hear about Keith’s passing. My wife and I knew Keith at Nicholls’ High School. My wife’s maiden name was Miriam Mierl. She always was so impressed with his kindness and friendliness. We had not seen him for many years and it is clear that he had a wonderful family and many friends. We know that his loving family will miss him greatly!

I only knew Keith from work but always enjoyed talking & joking with him when I stopped by our NOBRA office earlier in my career. He had a way of looking out for new pilots when they first started out. As a fellow veteran he & I always had something to talk about.
Keith is a first...

So sorry to hear of Keith's passing. He was a wonder person, father and husband. He put up a good fight for a long time. We will deeply miss him. I only wished I would have gone to see him when we were both in the hospital at the same time. But he is in good hands and no longer suffering. Perhaps he will meet up with Mike this weekend. May he be at peace.
