I found out today that Keith passed. We worked together from 1989 until 2000. He was so funny but yet so serious. When it came to his work he was incredibly dedicated and went over and above to learn all the new ADT technology. He was a wonderful co-worker and friend to me during those years. Prayers to his Bill and the family.

Keith was a very good friend and roommate in college. I so saddened by this news and extend my sincerest sympathies to his siblings.
Keith and I and another roommate, Ed, were inseparable. I loved his wit and his laugh was infectious!
I would love to be in contact with his family.

I attended Darby Township Elementary School with Keith, and he was a dear friend. One of my strongest memories was the day that JFK was shot. We were at recess. When I heard the news, I couldn't stop crying. Keith sat with me on the log in the playground, hugging me, and telling people just to leave us alone. I moved in seventh grade. The last time I saw him was at my graduation party. I tried to find him on social media, but never could. My deepest sympathy to his family. I'm sure that the caring, dear boy grew into a wonderful man. I know you will miss him. I always did.
