Keith, as with Julie, I'm saddened and shocked at your loss too! You were always a great friend in High School! The nickname you gave me was so funny!! Maybe not appropriate, but it was part of friendship we had. I think about the old days in Choir & Math often. I remember how much we used to joke and laugh... and some trouble!! I know you will be greatly missed. Your family are in my thoughts & prayers!!! Vikki Jordan-Costello a.k.a. Herbert...

I am both shocked and saddened by your loss! Keith, or Keif-Bee as I always called him, was a dear friend for many years at Largo High School and my "partner in crime" many times, not to mention partners in the Madrigal Singers. I believe that everyone who ever met Keith was truly blessed by his friendship and love of life. He will be truly missed and my prayers and blesssings go out to his family and many friends.

I just heard about Keith's passing. Keith and I grew up together in the same neighborhood and sang together in High School. I also sang with Donna. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this very sad time. Would like to know when and if there will be a memorial in Largo.
