Dear Mary Ellen and family,
What a wonderful, kind, gentle man Keith was. Always the same whenever you saw him and always interested in our family. Really missed seeing him both at the hardware store in Rossford and at Calvary Bible Chapel. Our prayers are with you Mary Ellen at this difficult time but you will see him again. Your devotion to each other was a shining light and example to all married couples. We loved him and love you too.

I grew up down the street from Harlan, Michael and Brian. Keith was always sweet and friendly. I would run in to him when I was an adult and he always remembered me and greeted me in the same friendly way. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. God Bless. Barb (Ochmanek) Tornai

I knew Keith since 1961 when I worked at Dans Hdwe. You could not find a more loving and caring person. His pasing leavea me with a very sad heart. Mary Ellen, I only knew you as a customer when you came to Dans. I am very sorry for the lost of your loving husband. Keith is now at the right hand of God, but he still will be watching and in some way caring for you and his family. Keith you will be missed.
