KEITH NOLOP

It is a shock to learn of Keith's tragic death. I was looking him up on-line to invite him to ski again at Lake Tahoe. Keith was a good friend to my husband, Mario Curzi, and me from Vanderbilt Medical School. Mario taught him to sail in Tennessee, then we enjoyed a fabulous trip in the Florida Keys. As with everything else, Keith was a quick study, and soon had the sailboat racing along with it's rail in the water. He was the kind of friend that remained close despite years and distance. He...

The note by Richard Lee really captures the Keith Nolop I knew. I could not have expressed it better. The thought of two tragedies in one home seems unimaginable to me. Keith and Sonia were a perfect match and it is very sad their lives were cut short. There was so much more ahead for both Keith and Sonia. They were true soul mates.

It's a new year and I've been reflecting back on the past year. I got to know Keith Nolop very well because I had the fortune to work with him on developing an important drug for advanced melanoma patients. There was another Keith on the team, so I always called him by his full name, Keith Nolop. At the time the drug was approved, melanoma patients had very few options ad these options were not good. So when we saw a patient with metastatic melanoma get up from a wheelchair and go to work...

I was one of the professors at the University of South Dakota biology departmentlucky to have Keith as an undergraduate student.
I still remember discussing the effects of exercise on the heart with him outside of class, yes I was a big fan of bicycle riding.I wish I could have had a conversation with him in the last few years. He will serve as my ideal student as I move beyond my 81 years.

Very sad to hear of Keith's death. My condolences to all his family. Tuck Nolop, Cousin

Keith was a great friend. I have many happy memories of our time together as we traveled around the world. Keith will be missed by all who knew him. RIP

I have fond memories of my time working and traveling with Keith. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. He did occasionally get the club face on the golf ball at the Millburn golf course. Rest in peace.

Keith, I am sad to find out the news of your passing. It was a pleasure teaching you bass guitar and we (the Ooks of Hazzard) enjoyed playing your raging July house party. I hope your playing some roots with Bob Marley and the big reggae band in the sky. RIP my friend!!

I was shocked and am deeply sad about Keith's death and the death of his fiance. Keith and I had an interesting classmate relationship that did and always will make me smile. You are remembered.
