Keith Helmlinger

Dear Effie and Family, Thinking of all of you at the passing of Keith. You both went through a lot, but you did it together with your families and friends. Good thoughts and prayers go out all of you.

Sending my condolences to the Helmlinger family.

Pam and family, I want to offer my deepest condolences. Keith and I taught on the same sixth grade team. Keith cared so much about his students and his love of reading was imparted to his students. He will be truly missed. Janet Ross

Keith, Mr H, was the principal of all 3 of my children throughout their elementary years. He kindness and care shown through, not only his words, but his actions as well. Our family was greatly impacted by this and we are very thankful for the time we got to spend with him. Four years ago I became a teacher and one year ago a children´s pastor. I have no doubt his influence helped me become the teacher and pastor I am today. He will be greatly missed by our family and so many others.

I went to Ohio State with Keith, when he began dating his future wife, Effie who he said was his best friend! He was studying journalism. I have many fond memories and laughable moments with our college gang! I send my heartfelt condolences to Effie and the family.

Keith was a decades-long friend. We met both working for The Lima News, where we spent so much time laughing as we worked. So many stories! As we both started families, our friendship turned into family as we all continued to spend time together. Our prayers are with the family as we all remember the great times we were blessed to share.

So very sorry for your loss Effie and family.Keith sure will be missed.Prayers for all.

Keith was a great employee at Sidney City Schools. He always made me laugh. He will be missed.

Mr. Helmlinger was my 5th and 6th grade teacher at Northwood. He would read us Harry Potter daily. He was my favorite teacher in grade school. He left an everlasting touch on my heart. Seriously, the best teacher hands down! May he rest peacefully.
