Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing. I was following the Eaton fire with several of our Eliot friends and Keith was mentioned. I said I would research how he was doing as I knew he was in North Idaho. Thank you for bringing him to Blue Diamond Marina to visit...such a joy for me. I can only presume his illness came on after that visit. May he and Caroline be joyful in paradise. Carolyn Weber Deshler (Eliot, Muir, PCC)

Keith was a fraternity brother of mine at UCSB, and conducted our entry in Spring Sing. He was a friend, and delightful.

Keith was a fellow trumpet player for 3 years at UCSB from 1959 to 1962 when he joined the Stan Kenton Band......
My sympathies in your loss.

I played trumpet with Keith at Pasadena City College in the Dance Band. Also new Alan, his brother who played trombone.
I was privileged to get reacquainted with Keith later in Spokane. It was my great honor to meet Caroline, she and Keith made a wonderful couple.
I new Keith to be a man of great faith, and I’m sure he is saving me a chair in a trumpet section in Heaven.

We first met Keith and Caroline as the parents of our son-in-law, Brady. They were such kind and welcoming people, inviting us into their family and home. We were so encouraged by their expressions of faith and the knowledge that we will see them again with the Lord Jesus Christ. We thoroughly enjoyed the time we were able to spend with them, and our only regret is that we could not get to know them more. Prayers for comfort and peace for their children and grandchildren.
Love, Janice...

We work together in 1971 and 72 such a loss KEITH was awesome

We have just watched with awe and delight, the wonderful memorial
that your family has crafted with so much love, humor, and honesty
to honor your Dad Keith. We wish you all peace as you "release and
let him go" to his journey in eternity. Many blessings. Christi and Gil Smith

I never really knew Uncle Keith as much as I wish I had, however Im always going to remember the day we went to visit shortly after Aunt Carolines passing. At the time I was going through a pretty bad breakup, so when he asked how I was doing I was honest about that. I just remember him telling me that the guy I had broken up with with wasn’t worth being sad over and that I would find someone new, that things would be ok. It wasn’t a huge memory, but it is one I’ll never forget. Uncle Keith...

Keith was a very special guy. We worked together at IBM in San Francisco. We were the Copier Team! I left IBM in 1981 and went to work for Jostens. I suggested that he interview for the rep job in Spokane...and he was hired. We have stayed in touch via e-mail for all of these years! I'll miss him! He and Caroline were the perfect couple with a great family! They will both be missed!
