Keith Alan Purdy

Good friend, taught me many things about history the couple of years we knew each other.

To talk about Keith, where do you start? From high school anatomy class with Wally Gilliam, to Picketts Charge at Gettysburg in the largest artillery concentration we ever participated, to filming "North and South" in Charleston, Keith was there. He will be missed.

You will be missed, my friend.

Keith, I admired you as a friend at Sumter High School. You were older and wiser than me. We both relocated to Charleston many years ago. Once again, I admired your entrepreneurial sprit and love for southern history! May peace be with you in God's hands!

So sorry to hear of the loss of our friend Keith. So many things I could say about him, but they have already been said. Thank you for all you have done Keith. Praying for your family.

Keith, your stories and roaring cannon will be sorely missed sir. RIP soldier.

Keith, I´m at a loss for words. I will miss talking to you about artillery shells and Charleston history. I know that you are in a better place. Until we meet again!

Keith, Thanks for being a great friend to us. We will miss you...

From McLaurin Junior High to Sumter High School class of 72 - great memories! You fought the great fight, now rest.
