I just now learned of Keith's passing and would like to send his family my condolences. Keith was a great guy. I remember when he started school at SWA. His pleasant manner and keen sense of humor made him stand out from the rest. I enjoyed the time I spent with him at school and also riding the BOCES bus. He will most certainly be missed. RIP my friend.

My deepest sympathy goes out to all in your family. I am a good friend of the Henks, and along with realizing the pain that they must feel, I can only imagine what you all are going through. I didn't know Keith, but he sounds like a guy that was always happy. I hope the thought of that "happy Keith" will ease your sorrow a little. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I worked with Keith many years ago when we were both teens. He was always so cheerful to be around. Over the years it's always been great to see him. I always love the way Keith could never tell a joke without laughing at himself making it even funnier. Thoughts and Prayers to Denise and the children.

Denise & Family,
Mom and I were distraught to hear of Keith's passing. He always had a hug for Mom & always stopped to ask me about her if she wasn't with me. He certainly accomplished a tremendous amount of good in his too short years. Never underestimate the power of that wonderful smile of his. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love, Millie & Linda
