Not sure what to say?

I first met Keith in about 1990 or 1991. I was just starting out doing automotive illustrations, as a hobby. Keith took me under his wing and showed me some tips and tricks using art markers, which were something he used. I would meet him at his studio and discuss different techniques over a couple years. His guidance had a significant impact on me continuing my work and even selling some of it. I'm sad to hear of his passing, but and very happy he is watching over us. I truly loved his work...

It's been a long time but only seems like yesterday when we were singing the old Doo Wap music in my living room. It was so much fun. Miss you Buddy!

We had some long talks together . My father Wally and Keith had wonderful discussions regarding the sign industry too. We will miss him...

I remember Keith in elementary school. He came to my birthday party in second grade and gave me the book called Heidi. It was always one of my favorite stories and I still have the book. Sincere sympathy to the family in your loss. Beverly Roe Huffman

Burce, I'm so sorry to hear about Keith's passing. I've thought about him and you often over the years. I'd love to see you again some time soon! Hope you are well, Sharlene Ramsey (Berning)

Without Keith's fine place-card free hand lettering, no one would have known what poolplayer was playing or what table they were on at the recent Glass City Opens. A great guy and full of a lot of stories!! We'll miss you!
