Deepest sympathy to the entire Latz family. I knew Keith all my life from growing up on Ridge Road, through my days at St. Cyril's and participating in Lemont Sports. He was a giver of time and energy to Lemont! He will be missed.

All of my thoughts and prayers are with the Latz family. What an awesome and involved family they are. I spent a lot of my childhood days at their house, and I could always count on Mr. Latz to make me laugh. My heart goes out to all of you, he was a special man with so many special memories.
