Mr Keith was my neighbor for many years. I grew up across the street and had the privilege of being able to spend time with him and his wife. They'd invite us over for milk and cookies or just to talk. The couple were like my adopted grandparents. Both amazing, kind and loving people. Thank you for being a part of my life. I will never forget you.
