I was so fortunate to have gotten to know Keith over the last couple of years. He was such a kind sole and always willing to give his time and attention to anyone who needed him. He lovingly made place holders for his nephew's wedding and even created ones better than originally requested. His family was the center of his world and that didn't just include his wife and children, family to Keith was anyone who entered is life. He will be sadly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him and I will miss his frequent requests for home baked goods. Rest in peach Keith.
Love,
Mary
