Keith was a very special cousin. We are lucky to be part of a large family of aunts, uncles, and cousins who all lived close and spent many happy times together. Now it is the wonderful memories that's the glue holding the Arnold's together.

I knew Keith through working at his Hematologist's office. He always brightened the room when he came in. The staff and I loved his perpetually happy personality- even when he was not feeling well. He was a joy to know and I will truly miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with you!

Keith was in my life for as long as I remember, as our parents were close friends since they were young adults. Our families were very involved at Fairview United Methodist Church and had weekly contact. My brother, Mike, and I send our condolences to Keith's sister and brother, remembering many pleasant times together. at church, school and Sherwood Forest Swim Club.

Although, Keith has left his kindness and warmth behind,
He has left us with many memories vivid and bright,
While bring in his night.
Yet, I’m content and joyful I will see him once more,
To brighten my life again.

I was a pleasure working for you. You are a wonderful person. You would often ask if there was any food left and to save you some.
It's often sad to lose a great person.It was a pleasure knowing you. We will miss you here at Freindship Villiage.

I knew Keith through Paxar. We would come once a month to the cafeteria & sell the company store merchandise. Keith would always come see me and say hello. He would ask if I had any new shirts; but they had to have a pocket & he preferred short sleeve. Keith was a sweet person whom I'll always remember and think of with a smile. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and co-workers.
