Keith Krayer was one the finest human beings that I have ever met. Keith, and his wonderful wife Maggi were always kind and gracious to me during our time in Acton, MA. He was always warm generous and thoughtful and it was always a delight to see him during the many years we shared in the Home Fashions Industry.

Keith and Maggi raised wonderful children, and they, along with their children will carry on Keith's legacy of giving.

Dear Maggie and family.
Loved being with Keith from from the time I joined Fieldcrest in 1968 when we would share a $2.00 Blimpie sub out the back door on 39th St and complain about the price. Never a dull moment and lots of the good memories. Thinking of you and your family.

We had the pleasure of knowing Keith through the Acton Lions Club. Keith possessed the great and unique talent of knowing how to give back to his community and making sure that everyone involved had fun doing it. Our heartfelt sympathies to Maggie and the rest of the Krayer family.

I was lucky enough to know Coach Krayer as a member of the Bergen Catholic football program. His positive impact on a group of young men will be remembered along with all of his other life accomplishments.
