Met Keith at a Speedway Motors event several years ago, invited him to verify that my 32 Ford was in fact one of his early race cars (8 ball), however we sadly never got together, he will be missed. Ron

We are all saddened by Keith's passing. "Shoe" was the kindest person, always smiling and happy to be here. He was an angel on earth and a joy to work with.

Keith, what can I say, He always made me want to drive a race car,. Rick, Deb, and Chrisy grew up across the road from me. As I was growing up in Ashland, Keith, alway was good with all the kids, he always offered advice on how to keep their cars running faster. Always had time to visit with you and alway knew whom you were.
I always enjoy the story , that one morning after racing at Eagle, Keith drove 4X for Speedway, because Beckman was hurt. I heard his 427 Ford start up Mon. Morning as he was headed to work, jumping out of bed, I caught him before he got away. Keith, you got a clean sweep last night ,heat race, trophy, and A feature, Wow!!! Keith replied, "Shucks, Jerry, Lloyd(Beckman), has 4X set up so good, you could have did that. I will always remember that admiration. RIP Keith!!! God Bless!!!!

Watched Keith race every week at Capital Beach in the 50s, then on to Midwest Speedway and Eagle Raceway where many nights I would push him onto the track. Keith was one of the best, he will be missed. God speed to his family.

I worked with Keith at Lincoln Lumber for many years. He was gruff but had a soft side too! I was proud to call him a friend!
