Keith was a great friend and teaching companion. We both enjoyed fishing and spent man hours "trying to teach worms to swim". He had a great sense of humor. I am sure he will be missed by many friends and former students.

I was honored to be a student of Mr Bobbitt!! He made a huge impact on my life and was the major part of my great memories of school Days at Culver!!
He encouraged my love for music and was also a lot of FUN!! When asked "who was your favorite teacher " my answer was always Mr Bobbitt! My sympathies to his family! Please know he was loved by many!!
