As the aunt to his grandsons, Darryl and Kevin, I was able to see the heartwarming impact he had on their lives and how truly they loved him. He will be missed by all of us.

Keith was truly a wonderful grandfather to my sons, Darryl and Kevin, and they will always cherish the wonderful memories of this kind, gentle man as we all will. He will be missed very much.
