Mr Keithly and your wife have a special place in my heart. You welcomed me into your home as a young child and treated me as one of your own. Your daughter SueAnn was my best friend and we spent a lot of time together at your home. I will always remember you welcoming me with open arms and being a great father figure to me. I am so sorry Keithly family for your loss. Your father was a wonderful man who will be missed by many.
