Keith was a good friend of mine. He came to to our cabin several times to help me mow and hang out. He was always mowing and shoveling snow in the neighborhood. I would see him riding his bike around. He loved the Bills and Sabers and sports. We went to a Sabres game together. Unfortunately, COPD and smoking took it's toll. I will miss him.

Love,
Tom
