Mary,
I mailed you a sympathy card, but it came back to me, so I guess I don't have your current address. I was very sorry to hear about Keith's passing. He and I go back a long way with folk music -- to the start of the Columbus Dulcimer Club many years ago. Although I hadn't been in touch with him for a while, I remember what a gifted musician he was and the joy and exuberance that was evident in his music. Please accept my sincere condolences. If you send me your address, I'll mail the card to you again. My e-mail is [email protected]
Sincerely, Betsy Salt

Mary, I was deeply saddened to hear of Keith's passing. He was the one that made me feel most welcome when I first joined the Columbus Dulcimer Club back in the early '80s, and is one of the people that I consider as a mentor and early influence in my own music. I've always respected and admired his knowledge of music, particularly his scholarshp on Leadbelly, and of folk music in general.
Good night Keith Irish, I'll see you in my dreams.

Keith was a dear friend to so many, including my husband & children. He's been missed since the day he retired from work. I'm honored to have known such a wonderful man. An angel. May God's never ending love & peace be with Mary and the family.

Dear Irish Family, I knew Keith at work and saw him the hospital at retirement. I wish you grace and peace just like my supervisor Paul Watson passed away Jun 22.
