Say it isn`t so!
To the entire Keel family my most heart felt sympathy. Big Mike will always be like a brother to me, as the Keels were like my second family. What a tragic loss.
Patrick please call!

Hello Pat:
Terri and I are so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. We would see him often when we lived in Mukilteo. I have planned to ride to Idaho several times in the past years and see Mike, but, alas, I always put it off till next year. My grandfather told me, "the graveyard is filled with people who don't have the time." He's right. We need to make the time to sit down and talk.
I hope all is well with you and the family. Send me a note.

I attended school with Mike and remember him to be a sweet, fun guy and someone we all enjoyed being around. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this difficult time.
